Marilyn,
See the entry below, which may be a possible sighting of Richard &
Elizabeth, the ages seem to be reversed, Richard is listed as being aged 27
(b 1824) and Elizabeth aged 30 (b 1821).
The entries come from the Herefordshire FHS 1851 census index and they are
found in Kington parish which is right on the border.
Parish born is not listed in the index

Subject: [POWYS] 1851 census please any help
Hi There,
I am here in sunny Western Australia and need some help finding
relations on the 1851 census.
I am looking for Richard Thomas born about 1821 in Merioneth North
Wales
could be a collier or a mason
His wife Elizabeth (nee Davies) born c 1823
They were married in Brynmawr Parish of Llanelly and County of Brecon on
12
th May 1845.
(Elizabeth's family were living in Brynmawr in 1841 census.Her father
Thomas Davies was a cordwainer.)
Richard and Elizabeth may have had children on the census Possibly Aaron
or
Abraham neither survived past their childhood.
Richard and Elizabeth may have been somewhere in Glamorganshire but they
were not to be found in Llanelly on the 1851 census.
So please if anyone has access to the 1851 census please could they look
them up for me
cheers Marilyn
