Title: 1841 Census Cenarth - John & Margaret Smith (Quarry Ffynnant)
Post by: scruth on Thursday 23 February 06 22:19 GMT (UK)

I believe John Smith (b 1784) and his wife Margaret (b 1796-98, Cenarth/Newcastle Emylyn nee Esau) are living in Cenarth with their family (children George Esau, possibly Elizabeth & Margaret) in 1841, possibly at Quarry Ffynnant - which may be a corruption of Ffynon/Fountain.  (From the 1851 Census Margaret is born in Cenarth, and certainly Margaret is there in 1861 and 1871).

Any info (and occupation/other siblings) much appreciated.

Regards

Simon

Thank you for that - this could be the answer I've been looking for - Margaret dies in 1920 Kansas, surrounded by George's children.

Great.
