Where did George Jones come from!?

[hunkyhywel]

Yes I'm pretty stumped by it.
There is an 1881 census return which shows a George Jones (b.1862 in Llanfrynach), single and servant to Thomas Jones' family in Llangorse.
Sometimes I wonder whether that's him but can't be sure? What do you think?

The 1861 & 1871 censuses are the ones to concentrate on.  Finding him with his family is needed to progress further

Thanks Marg! This could be him. But then, so could some other entries? And Monmouth is a fair bit away from wherelse we have him.
This reference to Moccas is really confounding me.

He may have moved about at an early age and was not sure where he was born

Thank you for your help everyone! I think I'll have to follow breadcrumbs on possible leads and see if I bump into Moccas again on any of them! Here goes...
