Hiya one thing to remember when researching is census ages are not always accurate.One thing ive learnt with researching over the years  is the info we are reading i.e census info,marriage,dert certs etc are not always correct the information is only as accurate as the informant who has given the information in the first place so errors are made and little white lies are told!.An example i have a lot of illegitimate children in my tree the majority all put a made up Fathers name on marriage certs i assume to appear more respectable at that time to their future in laws.This stumped me totally when i first started my researching until i realised as i was looking for people who didnt exist.Good Luck it becomes an addiction after a while.

Thanks Welsh Lady I will keep that in mind.  I know what you mean.  Had a wild goose chase for Davies of Llanelly Brec and yes it is very addictive.  Curious little blithers we are!!!
