If they were in Monmouthshire and you are having problems finding them, then
it could be because that there are several hundred census pages missing from
the Monmouthshire 1861 census. This is due to the condition to where they
were kept, and were lost to damp and rodents. If you go to the Gwent FHS
website and look under publications you will see that Geoff Riggs has
painstakingly put together what pages are missing and approximately how many
individuals were missing from each parish.

Subject: [MONGWE] ELLAWAY / JEFFERIES / SAMPSON, Laura and Rosa - 1861
census
Hello
I would appreciate any ideas in trying to find the 2 girls above on the
1861 census.
They were both on the 1851 census in Bristol living with their mother,
Ellen ELLAWAY. They must have gone to Wales between the 1851
and 1861 census as Ellen Ellaway died in Newport in Sept. 1859 so
both their parents were deceased.
Laura was born abt. 1840 and Rosa / Rose b. in 1845 and I suspect
both b. in Bristol. I have the marriage cert for Laura and she married
John SAMPSON on Dec. 15, 1864 at the Registry Office in Cardiff.
On the marriage, Laura is age 22 (should be 24) and she is working as
a housemaid on Newport Road, Cardiff. The last sighting of her was
when John Sampson was a witness at the marriage of Laura's brother,
Walter James Ellaway in July 1871 in Aberdare.
There is a chance that they could be using the name JEFFERIES from
their mother's 2nd husband and that could have been Rosa / Rose's
birth name which I am checking out. The other night I tried the 1861
census on Ancestry.uk under all the 3 surnames plus Elway and other
spellings.
Any ideas in locating them in 1861 would be wonderful.
Thank You Lorraine Ottawa, Canada
