1841/51/61 census, Bibey family, Llanelly

[WHS1899]

I'm hoping to help a friend out with her research...

Trying to trace William Bibey b c1843 Llanelly. He may have had brothers Peter b c1848 Llanelly, Brecknock and Benjamin b c1857 Llanelly, Brecknock.

This info has come from the 1881 census when William is married to Jennet, they have 6 children and live in Gilfach Goch, Glam and Peter is married to Emma, they have 3 children and live in Llantrisant. Also boarding with them is Benjamin Bibey.

I'm hoping the censuses can link these men and show who their parents are.

Cas,
Thank you for the census info.  :)I note from both census that son William was born in English Bicknor. The William Bibey from the 1881 census said he was b in Llanelly, so I'm wondering if my friends is a different William and that Peter and his family are not connected after all.

Is there any chance you (or someone else) could look to see if there was a William b c1843 Llanelly?

I cannot locate a William born 1843 in Llanelly. As he was so young he would only have had info from his parents were he was born.

Here is the 1871 it looks likely it is the right family.  Check freebmd for births in brecon/Gloster to verify were born.  Bibey is unusual.

Here is the likely marriage - William Bibey Bridgend June Q 1869 11a 617  looks like Jennet has not been transcribed yet only 5 on page. Bridgend reg would come under St Brides

On the 1881 it looks like Brecon Llanelly has been written over Glos for William & Jennet
