Find Ancestors

Hi Any help would be appreciated. to find the following Edward Thomas, before 1861. Edward Thomas on a 1861Census was said to have been born about 1814 Almondsbury Gloucestershire, with wife Elizabeth Thomas, and family. However on the 1871 Edward Thomas said to have been born 1807 Amesbury Gloucestershire with wife Elizabeth Thomas and the same family as on the 1861 Census.

Much easier to help if CENSUS is posted

1871 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Mill Parade Behind Tredeger Offices, Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales

There is no Amesbury in Gloucestershire...........the Welsh enumerator probably couldn't understand the man's accent

Hi Again.
No problem, I think that they may have been possibly in the workhouse in Newport, Monmouthshire, which I am trying to check. Thank you once again for your interest, you have made an 81 year old very happy with your response, and information. Take care.
