According to the 1871 Census there was a Richard Lloyd , age 27, b. Bredon, working as a Railway Signalman, living at #2 Whitcombe St., Aberdare along with his wife, Leah, and children Rose Ann, Richard, and Edith.

I believe Richard to still be in residence at that location in 1891.

According to the 1881 Census there was a Daniel Lloyd , age 41, b. Bredon, working as a Railroad Engine Driver, living at #10 Whitcombe St., Aberdare , along with his wife Emma (possibly maiden name Evans), and children Richard, Maria, George, David, Rose Ann and Daniel.

I would like to find out the following:

Is this Daniel Lloyd listed in the 1841 Census, 1951 Census, 1861 Census or 1871 Census?

Is this Richard Lloyd listed in the 1851 Census, 1861 Census, or 1891 Census?

I am trying to determine if Daniel and Richard are related, perhaps brothers or cousins. There are many similarities between the two men:
Have the same last name
Residing on the same street
Both employed by the railroad
Both have children named Rose and Richard

Mostly I am desperate to make some connections for Daniel to somebody!!

Basically I am trying to find as much information about my GGGrandfather Daniel Lloyd as possible. I have his location in the 1881, 1891 and 1901 Census, but want to work backward to learn more about his parents, siblings.

Also there is  a widow in the Welsh 1891 Census
Lloyd, Mary 75 Bredon, Worcestershire Head Aberdare Glamorgan.  Perhaps she would be Daniel's Mum. I would love to know about any early Census she appears in with a listing of her husband and children in case she is my GGGGrandmum.

I know this is a lot to ask for, but as always any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Thanks Chris!

I agree this 1871 entry looked promising, however I don't believe it can be my William and Mary Ann. In 1871 my William would have been 25, Mary Ann 30. They didn't have either a daughter named Jane or a son named William listed with them in 1881. Of course that could just mean that both children died. How sad that would be.

I really need to find their daughter Annie's birth certificate as it would have an address for them in 1872 and that would give me something to go on. Any ideas on preceeding?

In the 1851 Census William would be five years old, Mary Ann 10, and hopefully both still living with their respective parents. I have no idea as yet what their names were. Got to find William and Mary Ann's marriage certificate...that would answer a lot of questions.

Thanks for trying!

Thanks Tara!

I know Mary Ann was a servant of some kind, supposedly a pastry cook at Hatfield House according to family lore. This says ladies maid, but that doesn't mean it wasn't her.

Do you know if Hatfield House is in Hitchin?

Also the birthplace listed, Fletching...on the 1881 Census Mary Ann's is listed as Lewes, Sussex. Is that near Fletching?

Can see it is time to find my trusty atlas, although it does seem that many district names, etc., in the UK changed in the early 1900's so it gets confusing.

Roma you are a miracle worker!!!!! It has been said to me repeatedly by my Mum and my aunts that my GGGrandad was known as "Harbour Cooper" but no one knew why, or exactly how it connected with him. There was no mention of the Harbour name on my GGrandmother's birth or marriage certificate, so we just assumed Harbour was a nickname William used.

But to actually see it in print, on something official is like unearthing a priceless relic! This has to be my family...and now I know Alice Amelia's siblings' names...my Mum always said she remembered an Auntie Rose.

This gives me a great new place to start looking. I can't tell you how pleased and excited I am that you went the extra mile and found this information for me.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!
