On the 1881C for Gelligaer Samuel Davies was an 18 year old pupil teacher, born Merthyr Tydfil, at home with his parents Thomas & Mary Davies.  Where was in 1871 and 1891, 1901.  Any info appreciated

I have since learnt that Samuel Davies moved around and was at three different schools; Alltwalis School, Carmarthen; Georgetown, Tredegar and Pantywaun School, Dowlais?. 

This may help find those who are trying to find him on the 1891 and 1901 census's
