1891 Census, Whitland, Carmarthen or Missing from Ancestry?
« on: Tuesday 29 September 20 10:19 BST (UK) »
Hi readers and thank you for dipping into this enquiry.

This enquiry concerns searches at Ancestry.

I have tried two separate names: Isaac Newton Rees and Elizabeth (& Lizzie) Rees whom I had hoped/ expected to find at 'The Emporium' Whitland, Carmarthenshire in the 1891 census.  I failed to find either of them within that census.

Isaac Newton Rees is found in earlier and subsequent censuses.

The Emporium has different addresses in different censuses, but all appear to be in the centre of Whitland.

I've tried (for the first time), using the Card Catalogue, and reached Carmarthenshire, but no Parishes were offered.

What am I doing wrong?  Or is Whitland missing from the Ancestry database?

Whitland as such is not listed when you browse any of the parishes in the County.

Isaac N Rees born about 1861 Trelech, Carmarthenshire, is on the  1881 Llangan East  district 9 and 1901 Llangan district 15

In 1891 there are two districts in Llangan East  9 & 10 neither appear to cover Whitland in the Enumerators notes, I have scanned through the pages to no avail and no Isaac elsewhere.

I think this is him - schedule 76 only the transcriber has him as J W Rees born Zelich

Quite possible she was 26 in 1901.

No idea where I got that from, she said she was born in Morriston, Glamorgan.
