Hi Barbara, I think this could be my family.I've come across this one before and thought it probably was the right family but I've made mistakes in the past and followed the wrong line.I don't know how I can confirm it so I'll settle with it for now.
Many thanks for your help

Was he considerate enough to have any children after 1837? If so maybe finding their birth record would help. I can't see him in Breconshire 1841, would you mind pasting transcription onto here please.

Can anyone help me find the family of my gg grandfather Owen Davies born LLanarth, Newquay Cardiganshire in about 1796.I've got him on the 1841 census living in Llangynidr,Breconshire and later in the Rhymney valley but would love to know who his parents were.I would also appreciate any info on his wife Margaret born c1807 in Hirwaun Glamorgan.
Many thanks
