1871 census lookup Wales - Blackbell

[AlanO]

I was hoping SKS could look up the Blackbell family in the 1871 Wales census please. While doing my monthly checks for new information I was directed to the Ancestry site which shows 3 members of the family in that census. I have a substantial record of the family in Co.Durham and Northumberland, but these new ones have slipped by me somehow. Thank you in anticipation.

I think that you will find that they are on a vessel names the "Dipton".
I believe that Ancestry have been updating their 1871 indexes, and new areas have come up very recently. Probably explains why they have only just appeared on there. I don't subscribe myself.

Thomas Blackbell 35  b Tynemouth, Northumberland Mate 
Frances Blackbell 34  b Sunderland, Durham Mates Wife   
John W Blackbell 3  b Sunderland, Durham Mates Child

Thanks Pauline for the superfast reply. I actually have these people in my records and as the whole family were seamen it's not a huge surprise. If nothing else it tells me more of how they lived and not just a bunch of names and dates.

Thanks for your time and effort.

The 'Dipton' was recorded as being in East Bute Dock Cardiff for the 1871 census.

My thanks to you as well Tricia, every piece of info will have it's place in the tree.
