Hello Alan,
There is a Richard Rowland aged 3, born in Llanelly who matches Jeff's 1881 reference
in
the 1871 census at Glyn in Llanelly.
RG10/5471, schedule 48 at Efelfach:
Margaret Rowland, head, 49, labourer's wife, born Llangendeirne, Carms.
David Rowland,......son,...12,.........................born Llanelly, Carms.
Thomas Rowland,...son,....7,..........................born Llanelly, Carms.
William Rowland,....son,...5,...........................born Llanelly, Carms.
David Rowland,......son,...3,...........................born Llanelly, Carms.
Richard Rowland,....son,...3,...........................born Llanelly, Carms.
Margaret Jones,......granddaur., 1,...................born Llanelly, Carms.
For some reason there are 2 sons called David. I don't know if this is a
mistake by the enumerator. I have taken these details directly from the
census entry. Also, the surname is given as Rowland not Rowlands.

This look-up is made possible by use of the
ancestry.com U.K. census
collection.
There is a Richard ROWLANDS aged 13 b Llanelly in 1881 census at
Llangendeirne, Carmarthenshire on Familysearch, with parents John and
Margaret, brothers and a nephew. RG11 5394 f50 p5
It might be worth looking to see whether the age is transcribed wrongly. Of
course the 1901 age might be wrong.
In 1891 the civil parish they would be in would be expected to be
Ystradyfodwg or Llanwonno for Porth, Llantrisant for Dinas.
Glamorgan FHS now has the Rhondda 1891 transcription available on CD at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wlsglfhs/cdfp.htm .
It could well be that the transcription is more accurate than that on
certain web sites.
There is a Richard ROWLANDS marriage in the December quarter of 1882, in
Pontypridd registration district, which covered places such as Porth and
Dinas. There is one female name missing from that page ( 11a 653) so this
might be them. A Sarah Ann COBLEY is recorded marrying on page 654. Possibly
worth checking the page image in case of mis-transcription, but might be
coincidence.

Hello listers,
I'm new to this list but a long term Sussex lister.
I am trying to track down Richard ROWLANDS born circa 1866 Llanelli
Carmarthenshire, but resident in the parish of St John the Baptist Cardiff
in the 1901 census
He was maaried to Sarah A. b <1865
Children
Bronwen E. E. b <1885> Porth Glamorgan
Miriam A. E. b <1889> Dinas Glamorgan
David E. E. b <1892> Porth Galmorgan
Lewis S. b <1897> Pontypridd Glamorgan
Richard Stanley b<1898> Pontypridd Glamorgan - my grandfather
I have been unable to find any other references to them in the 71 - 91
censuses.
