His son George Strong was born around 1834, so Thomas Strong was probably born before 1813
and died before George's marriage in 1856.
Other ancestors were indeed born other areas of the UK then went to Wales, so I have
already searched outside of Wales in the census and BMD index, but no luck. There are
LOTS of misspellings for "Strong", so they could be there but not in an indew,
so I have searched every census page for the most likely locations.
Since the "children" were both near Blaina for at least seven years between
their marriages, I have supposed that they moved there with their father before he died,
so maybe his death could be in a local parish or church record.
Still looking... ;-)
Thanks!

I have done a few searches and don't think?I have found your Thomas Strong,
but I would recommend you extend your searches to look for him in English census
returns etc. as well as Welsh records, beacuse it is likely he migrated to South
Wales to work in the coal or iron industry. Do you have the ages of George
Strong and Mary Ann Strong? It could give you a clue as to the possible age of
their father.

In 1856 at Hermon Chapel in Nantyglo, George Strong of Blaina married Sarah
Broom Stratton of Blaina.? His father was "Thomas Strong, deceased".
?
In 1863 at Old Blaina Chapel in Blaina, Mary Ann Strong of Blaina married
George Latcham of Cwn Celyn.? Her father was "Thomas Strong,
deceased".
?
I've been unable to?identify Thomas Strong in the 1841 or 1851 census, or
in that area in the BMD index.
?
Are there any local records that might be helpful?? I will be very grateful
for any information or clues.
?
(These families came to Girardville, PA, a coal mining town.)?
?
Thanks!
