Title: 1861 census Llanthewy Skirrid - help needed please
Post by: Chasing-fireflies on Wednesday 13 March 19 08:46 GMT (UK)
I don't know if I am losing the plot slowly or if this was missed from the 1861.

I have William Morgan b.c. 1806 living at Pys coch, Typoch and various versions of the hamlet/farm/cottage ( not entirely sure which) in 41, 51, 71 and 81 with his wife Martha and various children. For some reason I cannot locate them on the 61. I have no idea which sub district I need to be looking for.

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be hugely appreciated. TIA

It helps us to help you if you give us census references of those that you have found so we can see where and who you mean without spending lots of time looking for him ;D

It's more the general parish I am looking for rather than the individuals as it seems to change from each census from Lanvihangel to Llanarth, then back to Lanvihangel in 1971. I can't seem to locate anyone in Llanthewy skirrid in 1861. I have a few families in the same area so I was hoping to look at all of them if I could just find the right area.

1841: Piece 743 Book 14 Folio 4 Page number 1

1851: Piece 2446 Folio 93 Page number 9

1871: Piece 5308 Folio 11 Page number 2

1881: Piece 5233 Folio 5 Page number 4

Many thanks!

Should it be Llandewi Skirrid.

Just found Llanethwy Skirrid so apologies for confusion.

I have seen it spelled Llandewy, Llandewey and various other ways too on different records. At this point I am simply searching "skirrid" and waiting for the autotext to kick in LOL

Have you tried searching for another family  that are there in 1851  that might have stayed in the same district.

I have yes. I have 2 families living close by in the previous census but then 1861 seems to be a blank spot. It's really frustrating as you can guarantee that will be the one with information I need!

There are quite a lot of areas missing in 1861 but I can't see that one on the list.

Searching for 'Llanthewy' in 1861 only brings me Llanthewy Rhytherch

I can see 1871 and 1881 are under Abergavenny,  and same district for both. Logic says it should be saame for 1861. I can't post the page details for you to take a look.

I have tried under Abergavenny to no avail. I have a feeling this must be one that is missing. Thanks all!
