thank you very much - obvious when you tell me! I had interpreted the ending as ddoes

Further away from Liverpool than I thought and not near the sea either which I found strange as he was a mariner

However, looking very closely at the image, I;d suggest that Margaret and John are the children of Thomas and the younger Elizabeth. In Thomas's "relationship to head" box it reads lodger, but with "head of family" written above it which  makes me think the Joneses below are his

I agree Mabel. The John & Elizabeth are my family and they did not have a daughter Margaret and their son John was born in 1853

another suggestion I have had from elsewhere is LLanddulas - which is on the coast

Definitely appears to end "loes" to me. Enumerators in Liverpool might well know where Llanddulas was and add a county, as they have for Beaumaris. Llanidloes down south, much less familiar to them

thanks Mabel - good logic. Probably academic as I can't see me finding the right John Jones in mid Wales, it is just that I have tried to read it for some time and thought I would see what others thought
