Hi list
Can anyone help me with a look-up on the 1871 census for Abertillery please?
I'm seeking the Leigh family. The 1861 census has Oliver Leigh married to
Leah and living in Forge Row, Abertillery, with their four children Eli (aged
8), Henry (6), Mary Jane (4) and Hosiah Louisa (2). My ggrandfather William
was born just after the census in 1861.
The 1881 census has William married to Hester, with an 11-month-old son
William Henry in Castle Street, Abertillery, and Henry Leigh married to Eliza
with a two-year-old daughter Kate, also living in Castle Street.
The other children and their parents don't appear in the 1881 census so
they've either moved, died or got married, and knowing if they were still
around in 1871 would certainly help me narrow the search.
If anyone can help with the 1871 info I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Jane Leigh
