Hello again Ron & Bettye Lets try to clear this up. There were two David Edwards born in 1832 according to the 1881 census. One was born in Llechryd and was living in Llangoedmore with his wife Elizabeth and children. They had a son called Daniel Edwards but not a William and Anne. You already tell us that your David was married to Ann, so this one can not be yours because his wife is called Elizabeth. The other David Edwards is shown as living in Bridell, with his wife ANN and according to the 1881 he was born in Llanfairnantgwyn. This David does have sons Daniel and William and a daughter called Ann. So from here we go back to my previous email to you which I paste here again....... However, in 1871 they are shown as living in Ysguborwen, Bridell. David is an agricultural labourer aged 40 and shown as born in Bridell. Anne is now 38 and born Eglwyswrw and the children at home are John, aged 8, born Bridell., Lydia, aged 4, born Llanfairnantgwyn and Daniel, aged 2 born Llanfairnantgwyn. So now we move on to David and his parents. If the above is correct and David was actually born in Bridell not Llanfairnantgwyn then the 1861 census shows living at Hencwmbettws, Bridell........Daniel Edwards, Head aged 53, Labourer, born (Llandigwy), possibly Llandygwydd, Cardiganshire. Wife Anne aged 54, born Bridell. David, son, age 30, Labourer, born Bridell and another two sons, James aged 14 and Thomas aged 12 both born in Bridell. Thomas is shown as an invalid. Working back through the census, David is shown on the 1841 aged 11, at home in Bridell in the same house with his mother Anne. Anne is shown as an agricultural labourers wife. Also in house are John aged 9, Elizabeth aged 7 and William I think also aged 7 the age is not clear so I am not sure. A Daniel Edward married Anne Bowen in Bridell on the 3rd December 1829. Following on, the 1851 shows Daniel and Ann still in Bridell but this time Daniels (Davids father) place of birth is shown as Llechryd, Cardiganshire. In house were his wife Anne (mother), William age 11, Maria age 8, James age 5 and Thomas age 2. So the William shown in 1841 must have been 1 not 7. David was not at home he was working in Eglwyswrw. By 1891 Anne (Davids mother)is shown as living in Llantood, with her daughter Lydia. Anne was widowed. So I think the confusion is coming in because the 1881 shows the place of birth as Llanfairnantgwyn. It is possible that the enumerator was given the wrong information, especially as David appears on the earlier census to have been born in Bridell. His children seem to have been born in Llanfairnantgwyn. Ron can you please confirm that you believe the above to be correct or not.
