Hi Handm,

I'm afraid this is the closest I could come.

1841 Census of Radnorshire
The Hundred of RADNOR

The Township of Evenjobb, Newcastle, Barland & Burfa in the Parish of Old Radnor. Index code OJ

BISTILL, Edward, 18, ag lab, No, Barland, OJ/f8/p7

I don't see Hay listed as one of the parishes on the Radnorshire Census, though.  Could it be on the Breconshire one, maybe?

All the best,
Seattle

Hello Seattle,

Many thanks for trying to find my Bissell ancestors in Radnor. I am struggling with this one. I had request for them in Breconshire, but they were not found. I do not know however whether this was looking at name indexes or actual images.
I had a look for the Bistill you found  on the 1861 census because I did wonder if he might be connected, but had no success there either.

Thanks again

Hello Handn,

I've checked everything I have access to and found:

Edmund and Ann (2nd wife?) in Shrewsbury St Chad, Shropshire in 1881.  Only boarders with them - no children.

On Familysearch.org:

James Bissel                          Apr 12, 1835    Hay, Brecon
Elizabeth Hannah Bissell       Nov 20, 1836    Hay, Brecon

I did notice that the name was somtimes spelled Bessell and Bessel.  Have you tried those on the 1841 Breconshire census?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Hi handm,
Might be worth posting your  request on the Herefordshire board as well, as Hay lies on the England / Wales border.

Yes, I have found those references, and the entry on the 1861 census where they were transcribed as Brasile and other variations. After much searching I found them there by just putting Edward(a son) and Ledbury in the search boxes.
I have had a look up done for me on the 1841 Brecon census, but without success.  I am still hoping to find them somewhere in the English/Welsh border area, but am running out of places to search.
Many thanks again for your time helping me.

Thank you for your suggestion to put a request on the Herefordshire boards. I did try that, with a request for a look-up in Ledbury, but nothing was found. All I know was that the children born before 1841 were born in Hay and those after 1841 were born Ledbury so it is possible that they were in either county. I think I will have to locate some alternative districts to request look-ups.
Thank you  again.
