HI Russ
Are you saying that Thomas Williams is the father of Anne and Mary as per
1871 you listed?
I have looked at 1851 census that I have indexed for Llangadock.....I have
an Anne and Mary daughters of a Thomas Lewis farmer.....
enu dist 3 b sch11 page 4
Foesclodie
Thomas Williams head marr 29 farmer 30 acre born Llangadock
Elizabeth Williams wife marr 29 born Llangadock
David son 7
Anne dau 6
Elizabeth 4
Mary 2
Margaret 2 mth
all born Llangadock.......
do you think this could be them?
I have not come across "Open Air" in the census.....I have come across
many
things and places of abode.....I sometimes have a little giggle when
I see
what the enumerator has written.....some of them could not spell to save
their lives.....!!
let me know......Pauline
