Dear Kathryn,
The street in Georgetown where Noah (Noath) was in 1881 would equate to
Kimberley Terrace nowadays. This is the family:-

I wonder if John Thomas aged 63 may be Noah's brother?
I cannot see Noah's family on 1861 index which was recorded 7th April,
not 1860 as you mention. There are 22,000+names on 1861 for Bedwellty
and 6,000 entries were lost, so it is possible that Noah's family were
amongst these.
The 1851 census is not yet indexed for Bedwellty unfortunately, so it
will take a while to trawl through. I have lent out the 1851 census for
Bedwellty at present so I have no access.
Not sure what you mean about Blandford? Quick. Was Blandford his
Christian name? Also Blandford? Lucas. Seems a family name.
The lady next door to me is descended from the Hayden family in
partnership with the Quick family. The business was just down below the
Castle Hotel. Must have closed in the 1980's I would say. I will have to
ask. Plenty of Quick families and also Blanford (sic) on 1861 index.
My husbands Jones family were from Llangammarch, Breconshire. Will have
to check his tree. I did notice a William Jones who had a wife from
Llangammarch in 1881. William was a milkman and I thought he was tied in
to our Trevor 'the milk' Jones M.B.E. Trevor's father was Thomas and
originated from Dowlais so he told me.
