1851 census lookup

[melanieptucker]

Hello,

I'm looking for a Samuel Mathews in the 1851 census.  I've got him in the 1841, 1861, & 1871 but can't find him in 1851.  I suspect he is a related to my Mathews family, but I need the 1851 to know for sure.

1841 he is 14 yrs. old, living in Tonypistill, Mynyddislwyn parish in the household of Benj. Mathews (tailor) as a tailor's apprentice. 

1861 he's age 33 in the Pontypool in Monmouthshire.  His wife Cecelia (b. in Bedwas age 30) and son William (1 yr. born Machen) are with him.  Still listed as a tailor.

If anyone could help that would be great.  Birthplace might be listed as Mynyddislwyn or Monmouth.  He was married to Cecelia in 1858 so I'm hoping he's still with parents in 1851.  Officially it's mathews with one T but I've seen it with two T's as well. Unfortunately, I don't know his parents' names as that's what I'm trying to discover.

Thanks,
Melanie

So true, Pam.  Thanks for reminding me of the obvious.  I've been doing this for too many hours today!  The census still would be helpful though so that I can see birthplaces etc.
