Hello - I have just joined your list and am not familiar with the Wales
countryside, so hope that I am in the correct area for my inquiry.
Is there someone who has access to the 1861 census and might be willing to
do a look-up for information on David LLOYD family, and David JONES
family, apparently residing in Blaenavon, Mon.
I have not been able to get farther back than their listed names on the
marriage cert. of their children listed below.
I am posting this JONES/LLOYD information in the hopes that someone will
recognize this family, and/or be able to check records for me. Any costs
will be gladly reimbursed. Thanks for your help or suggestions and I look
forward to hearing from some new relatives!
