Have you located any of them in 1851?

What was John's occupation?

Hi Freewheel.
Nothing before 1871 for them.

John Davies 1818 was a sheep dealer on 1871 and Farmer on others.

I am having a search done for one of the younger childrens births,but with Thomas/John Davies etc in that area it takes the poor reg lady some while.....

Thank you.
Right ages for John and Elizabeth.

Way out on the birth areas,but I have printed it off to look at again{ in case I cant find it later)as I know as you do that a change of birth places are nothing to go by...

Thank you again.

That is the only reference I can find to Llanfair Clydogau - nothing on 1861 for the place

I am begning to think that most of that census must be missing for Cardiganshire as I had the same trouble with the same family ,different line, in the parish of Nantcwnlle,not far away from Llanfair Clydogau, as well.
And when I tried to do a page by page search the enumeration district does not come up,just the description.

Thank you for trying though.

Davies /Jones etc are horrors to follow.

Again it could be him and I wont dismiss it but...

Llanfair-Orllwyn birth place is a fair way from Llanfair Clydogau.

Thank you for this.

Edit.
I shall just have to wait for a childs birth cert it seems ,I dont care which one if only they can find one amongst all the Davieses there,then I shall give them the added work of searching for the parents marriage:)

They love me really in the reg office,or rather the bribery and corruption of tubs of Celebrations or bunches of flowers!
