(looking on google, seems Pont Hirwaun, Ponthirwaun, for that name, Llandygwydd)

I don't see anything for Benjamin in 1851 - anywhere

Thanks everyone for all your assistance, I have gained much more information on my ancestors than expected. ALVIEGAL did hit the nail right on the head.

Ponthyrwen, Llandygwydd, Cardigan, Cardiganshire, Wales

Jane Davies Head Married Female 34 1817 Mdle Woman Llandygwydd, Cardiganshire, Wales

Poster mentions death of first wife on her other thread, but only speculatively. No firm info

This MAY be the one - for the woman's age, which may help to find her and Benjamin

DAVIES, JANE 40
GRO Reference: 1857 S Quarter in CARDIGAN Volume 11B Page 7

Message from June, re my query as to occupation on other census have asked her to reply on the thread.

1861 CENSUS AGRICULTURAL LABOURER
1871 CENSUS NOT STATED

Joshua's birth - purely for INFO

DAVIES, JOSHUA EVANS
GRO Reference: 1856 M Quarter in CARDIGAN Volume 11B Page 13

Poster responses to my post too saying she got back to benjamin and Jane through their son Joshua

Poster responded by PM to my question. She is using GR. to try to research.

I know you all mean well, but the poster asked only for 1851 census

Wonder if this may be Jane in 1841 before her first marriage? Her father, David is a tailor.

Is this connected with your thread about 1871?

Are you sure this is the right marriage

Marriages Sep 1850
Davies Benjamin Cardigan 27 49
THOMAS Jane Cardigan 27 49

Do you have the cert for its info

How have you got back to him?

According to the 1861 census that you mention (piece, folio and page numbers match) he was born Brongwyn but lived in Llandygwydd and wife's name was Elizabeth.
