Hello Laura,
   Yes, this could be the family, I have just had a look at the 1851 census that I have here and found this family
 everyone on it but Elenor so it must be her as a servant elswhere,also on the 1851 census are 3 Grandchildren
Issac, Catherine and Elizabeth yet all are unmarried so I wonder if there was another son before Ann,Elenor was my G/Grandmother so if I can get her marriage cert to David Hopkins  with her Fathers name Edward,BINGO!!!!
    thats the family
    Many thanks Laura,  Margaret

Hi,

I wonder if anyone could do an 1841 Aberavon Census Look-up for me please?

Its for my Great Grandmother, Margaret Rees, who was born in Aberavon in (approx) 1837 or '38.

(This is my first post on here, so apologies if this goes to the wrong place!).

hi, will certainly have a look for you.
Have you any idea of her parents names?
This will help narrow down the search as I imagine ther are going to be lots of Margaret Rees'.
If you don't, no worries, I'll see what I can find.

Hi Laura,

Sadly, I have no further information. All I have to go on is my Grandmother's birth certificate. She was also a Margaret Rees(!) and was born in Welcome Street, Morriston, Swansea on the 6th November 1866. The informant on her certificate is her mother, Margaret Rees, (maiden name Rees!). She is unable to sign her name on the certificate, but has made a cross instead.

She married my Grandfather, Evan Rees, (a Copperman) presumably in about 1858, because her eldest son, John was born in Aberavon in 1859. Margaret Rees, (Senior) was also born in Aberavon, but Evan Rees was born in Morriston in approx 1838.

I have found my Great Grandparents on the 1861/71/81 and 1891 Censuses for Wales. I've also found Evan Rees's parents, (Evan and Anne Rees) but have been unable to find anything further for my Aberavon Margaret Rees. I don't know if she was any relation to the Evan Rees that she married. The children's names of Evan & Margaret Rees might give some clues, they were: John (1859) Sarah Ann (1862) Margaret (1866) George (1868) Elizabeth (1872) Selina (1877) and William (1879).

I've looked in vain for a birth entry for Margaret Rees, Snr, but suspect that she probably wasn't registered. On the Censuses, Margaret Snrs date of birth is given variously, as being 1837, 1838 and 1839!

Many thanks for looking, but as you say...I expect there were an awful lot of Rees's in that part of Wales!!!

Best Wishes, Romilly

Hi Romily
I cant find any Margaret REES in the 1841 Glamorgan census
If you have your grandmother Margaret REES born in Morriston on the 1871 census if you could post the details so I could try to work back.
Also I found Evan REES in the 1851 Census, don't know if you have it.
