Hello here are the following entries for the names John and Jemima Bird
No Match to Jemima in 1841 (do you have a maiden name for her?)
There is another John Bird besides this one, but living in Swansea S.Wales c.1811 (not born in Glamorgan) no other matches:

________________________________________
John is listed as a Widow in 1861, so Jemima died between 1851 - 1861. I found a death entry for a Jemima Bird on the Free BMD site:
Deaths Jun Quarter 1858
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bird Jemima Cardiff 11a 160
____________________________________________
I also found a marriage entry for a John Bird a few years after this death entry, could your John have re-married 9 yrs later?
Marriages Sep 1867
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BIRD John Cardiff 11a 371
There are 2 women in the same transcription (it could be the wife of this individual hasn't been transcribed on the Free BMD's as of yet):
Fowler Elizabeth Cardiff 11a 371
Williams Sarah Cardiff 11a 371
If you notice they have a Wesleyan Minister visiting them in 1861 at the time of the census, They were in all probability Wesleyan Methodists.
I hope this helps you
Kind Regards Jen
