Hi Jayne
Have you got dates of birth? Only Parish of Cwmdu on search in 1861 is in
Breconshire.The civil parish of Cwmdu (which includes Maesteg) was not used
in 1861 census, but rather these areas came under parish of Llangynwyd.
1871 Census mistranscribed Cwmdu as Cwmda, only one page, again because
civil parish was Llangynwyd (also transcribed as Llangonoyd by Ancestry).
If you look at original image, Llangonoyd written in above Cwmdu.

Subject: [GLA] Looking for Maesteg 1861 & 1871 Census Records
Hello List,
I have been searching for Peter CARR and his wife Elizabeth CARR , both
born Merthyr Tydfil in the 1861 & 1871 census records on Ancestry. I have
already found the family for 1851, 1881, 1891. by using the search
facility. Unable to find them using the search, I decided to browse the
records for Glamorgan.
They lived in Cwmdu, Maesteg, Bridgend, but I am unable to find Cwmdu,
Maesteg, or Bridgend listed on the 1861 Census. On the 1871 census there
is the parish of Cwmdu but it only has one sheet to it.
Which other parishes do you think Maesteg might come under (if any.) ?
If Maesteg is missing for the years 1861 & 1871 on Ancestry, do you think
I might find them elsewhere , i.e. on "Findmypast.com"?
Many thanks for any help received and Happy St. David's Day to everyone.
Jayne
