Llanelltyd 1861 census

[Nigel Porter]

I'm researching a couple of families who lived in Llanelltyd and wanted to look at the 1861 census records, but despite searching Ancestry, Genealogist, Find My Past and online I can't find any records, so are they online or under a different place name?

Quite a lot of 1861 census books were missing but Llanelltyd doesn't appear on the missing lsit

https://www.findmypast.co.uk/articles/world-records/full-list-of-united-kingdom-records/census-land-and-surveys/1861-england-wales-and-scotland-census

scroll down to see the missing books.

Can you give details of the families to see if we can help.

Interestingly, although 4 of the censuses have been transcribed for Llaneltyd, the 1861 hasn't:

Just scrolled down the missing list and this was tucked away

4319   Merionethshire   Dolgelly   Barmouth (2)   Llanelltyd

Thanks for checking and I had never checked that list (slapped wrist).  Seems I'll have to just work around it.

Any births, marriages or deaths that might give clues. Maybe Welsh Newspapers online ??

I have all the relevant BMD stuff, it was just to complete my records for the families concerned.  One family is the Griffith family.  There is another rootschat thread about Henry Griffith (1801 - 1866) who was a timber merchant/ship owner and who was on a ship off Carlisle in 1861, but his wife Elizabeth Williams (1820 - 1861) and daughters Elizabeth and Mary were in Llanelltyd and I just wanted to see their record.
