Census place of birth
« on: Sunday 16 June 13 18:42 BST (UK) »
I'd be grateful for help in deciphering a place of birth from the 1851 census.

The reference is HO107, Piece 2447, folio 261, page 9. The name is the 5th one: William Jones,and the registration district is Abergavenny. When you click through to the census William Jones is the 5th person down, and the place of birth begins with Cwm...

He was married in Llanfihangel Abergwesin, BRE in 1835, and was in this parish in 1832.  Many thanks, Salt
