Geoff,
As you can probably guess from my name, I am also researching my Williams
family. In fact I will be in Monmouthshire/Blaenau Gwent this week. One
common point is that my family were also in Bedwelty & Aberystruth.
My great grandfather was Arthur Williams b. abt 1836 Tredunnock, Mon
My grandfather was Alfred Arthur Williams b. 1865, Tredunnock, Mon. He had
two brothers, William J. & Arthur A.
They were in Abertillery in 1871 and 1881.
In 1891 & 1901 they were in Brynmawr, Breconshire.
All were coal Miners.
I have a lot more details if they are your family too. If they are not,
then if you give me some details of your Williams family, I will keep and
eye open for them as I go through the records.

Subject: [BLAENAUGWENT] Ebbw Vale
I bought the 1841 Monmouthshire census CD set some time back and after
my
recent visit to Mon. I tried to search for family in Ebbw Vale. To my
surprise, Ebbw Vale is not in the contents index! Was it omitted from
the
census or was it enumerated under another name?
Other places associated with my Williams family are Bedwellty and
Aberystruth which are in there.
Maybe Ebbw was just a small settlement in 1841.
Anyone any answers?
There's lovely. (you see I picked up some of the talk whilst I was
there.)
