I am searching for any information about the Padfiled
family below that turned up in the 1851 Census of
Pontypool (South Wales:
Living in Garndiffaith -
James Padfield, 59, labourer
Mary Padfield, 54, wife
Thomas Padfield, 18, Miner
Samuel Padfield, 16, Miner
All the above born in Leigh-on-Mendip"
I descend through Samuel Padfield, who immigrated to
the U.S. We are having a difficult time, though,
finding what happened to Thomas (above), i.e., who he
married, children he had, etc. Also, we are trying to
ascertain if James Padfield and Mary (Taylor) Padfield
above had more children than these two. They
originated from the Somerset area, and probably came
to Wales to work in the coal mines. Does anyone know
if they show up in the 1861 census for this area?
Any help would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance,
Mark Mendenhall
