GITTOES/GITTUS/GITTOS

[Puffcat]

I am looking for the birth of William Gittos/Gittoes born possibly the son of James b 1803 and Ann b 1814 in Clyro. On 1881 Census he is down as aged 38, born Radnorshire, and married and living in Kington.
He married Ellen Williams in Hay Jun Qr 1865

Where was he in 1871, 61 and his family earlier? Any help welcomed

1871 census in exactly the same place as 1881:

Thank you, can you see him and parents any earlier ?

[Arranroots]

Just looking! 

Why do you suspect the parents' names you have given?  I am tempted to say "get the marriage cert"

I agree - Sharon - just found that too.

 

James was born Colva, Radnorshire and Thomas in Kington, Herefordshire.  Address is Clyro, Radnorshire.  James is a shoemaker (master) meaning he could train apprentices in his own right.  Relationships are as you might expect - Sharon, you should transcribe these, please.

[Puffcat]

Thank you - that is brilliant !!

There is also another William in the same area also born around the same year.

1861 in knighton, Llanbister, Radnorshire. I think the name of the house is Pengbryn (another pair of eyes needed).
