Isaac Thomas, tailor, Ffarmers, Caio

[nigelw]

I'm researching the history of my great, grandfather Isaac Thomas, a tailor who lived in the village of Ffarmers in the parish of Conwyl Gaeo, Carmarthenshire, died early in the C20th.  I believe the line goes back to a woolen mill in the parish of Cilycwm, where Isaac's grandfather, also named Isaac Thomas worked.

Any information out there?

Hi
I'm not too sure of what kind of information you are after, or what you already have, but I have traced ISAAC THOMAS Tailor on all census returns 1871-1901, do you have this info, or would you like it.
The only other ISAAC I have found so far that could be the grandfather is a Farmer in Carmarthenshire, also I can find no parish calles Ffarmers in Conwil Cayo Have you any dates at all?
look forward to hearing from you

Ffarmers is a village in the parish of Conwyl Gaeo in Carmarthenshire.
I've got the censuses all the way back to 1851 when Isaac was a boy of 3.   

For some reason the father is named John JONES, tailor, born in Cilycwm which is a neighbouring parish.  Later marriage and death certifcates show John is Issac's father.  Why his surname is Jones on the censuses is a question I'd like answered.

Isaac's grandfather was a carder and weaver.  The family lived in Llwynhelig, a water mill in the village.  I have these in the 1841 and subsequent censuses.
