Dear Walt,
The LDS familysearch site library catalogue lists all available census
films. Type Rhmney in place name then click on census and it will give you a
list of the films covering the area.
It also lists any other available films and fiche. They have to be viewed at
an LDS family history centre, though.
The '51 Mon census is being indexed soon I understand, maybe you'll have
more luck then. It takes ages to wade through an unindexed census film.

Subject: [BlaenauGwent] 1841, 1851 census LDS FHC numbers
I have been unable to get any lookup help so now I am asking if
anyone
would
happen to know the LDS FHC microfilm numbers for the full census for
1841,1851 of the area that would include Rhymney, Wales. My great
grandparents immigrated to the US in 1865. I have been unable to locate my
SULLIVAN line in or around Rhymney. I therefore would like to look at the
full 1841, 1851 census of the appropriate area to see if I can locate
Patrick
SULLIVAN, born circa 1842, his parents or siblings. I do know that
Patrick
had a brother Florence but I do not know if he was in Wales at the time.
Marriage certificate General Register Office R005752 indicates Patrick
SULLIVAN was 21; a bachelor; a fireman in the iron works married Ellen
CUMMINS; 19; a spinster. They were living in Rhymney. Patrick's father was
John SULLIVAN(deceased); a general laborer. Ellen CUMMINS was living in
Rhymney; her father was John CUMMINS; a general laborer.They were married
25
July 1863. Marriage was solemnized at the Register Office Bedwellt,
Monmouth
Wales. Witness was David Evans and Mary By***.
According to the Monmouthshire 1861 census, in the registration District
in
Bedwelty, sub district Tredegar John CUMMINS Rhymney. Ellen was 14
at the
time. PRO 4001 79 05. The full census indicates that the CUMMINS family
lived
at 13 Furnace Row in Rhymney further indicates that both John CUMMINS
and
his
wife Ellen (O'BRIEN/O'BRYAN) were both born in Ireland and
the children
were
born in Wales. Which would seem to indicate the CUMMINS family had
been
settled in Wales since at least 1845.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as this is one of my
brickwalls
and my New Year's resolution is to attempt to break through and
find my
paternal ancestors.
Thank you for any and all comments.
Regards,
Walt
