Hello Don
No criticism of your request (if you don't ask you don't get), but it
might be appropriate to point out to those who do not know, the
problems of researching the 1851 census:
1. It is not indexed
2. The section you are interested in probably contains about 600
pages of difficult to read handwriting.
3. If you can provide a likely address it may be possible to skim
through it to find that address. Without an address see 2. above.
4. In order to do a search, someone has to have bought or hired the
film. If they have bought it, see all the above. If they have hired
it then they would prefer to spend the hire time looking for their
own families.
5. A possible reason you haven't had a reply is that maybe no-one has
this part of the 1851 census.
I often do lookups in unindexed censuses that I have purchased.
However, in order to do that I have spent many weeks indexing all the
streets into a searchable document. (This is not blowing my own
trumpet, as I do it for my own convenience in order to help with my
own research).
I hope this helps you to understand why you - and others -may not
have had a reply to your request.

I have posted this message several times and disappointed that NOBODY
has any
followups or suggestions...or even a loose ancestor waddling around
somewhere? Ebenenzer Hughes must be rare in name and in place..being Cwm,
Ebbw Vale or even Manmoel areas? If you are working the area I would
appreciate a HELLO to know it was read.
Searching Ebenezer Hughes of Cwm, near Ebbw Vale? He was in the Census of
1841 of Monmouth, Abervegenny, Parish of Aberystruth (pg 3 of 6) for the area
know as CWM...he was 5, Father may have been William and Mother was Mary
Hughes at home of Thomas and Sarah Phillips,Cwm.
I also need info on a Sarah Hughes born there about 1844..and in the 1851
Cwm census..probably his sister....
