Thomas Family Pontycwmer, Llangeinor

[paulwilliams]

Hi,
i am looking for more information on my Grandfather's wife Cecilia family
in 1881 the census for Pontycwmer, Llangeinor says no more information relating to house location
RG11 5328 folio 109 page 8
Thomas Stephen head married 43 coal miner Maenclochog Pembs
Thomas  Elizabeth wife 41 Baglan
Thomas William son 23 miner Briton Ferry
Thomas Anne daughter 19 Briton Ferry
Williams Benjamin nephew 19 coal miner Briton Ferry (my grandfather)

My Grandfather's first wife Cecilia was born in Mountain Ash, married my grandfather 25/12/1886 in Llangeinor

Any help would be most welcome.
kind regards
Paul Williams

Saw marriage of Cecilia Thomas and Benjamin Williams in 1886 Bridgend district

I assume this Thomas family are not Cecilia's? Have you found her in 1881?

I've found a Cecilia Thomas born Mountain Ash 1868 - age 13 in 1881
with parents David and Mary Thomas
at 2 Madaline Street, Ystradyfodwg, Pontypridd

RG11 5302/21 44
Is this the correct Cecilia?

Hi,
Yes this is the right Cecilia in Mountain Ash, i cannot find much earlier relationing to her family.
Had a a look for Pembrokeshire Stephen Thomas found the right ages for 1871 and 1861 censuses but the family members seemed to vary too much and a variety of names.

Could this be Cecilia’s family in Cwmdare in 1871?

David Thomas 30  ? Monmouthshire
Mary Thomas  25  Carmarthen
Selina Thomas 5    Aberdare
Ester Thomas  3  Aberdare
John Thomas 2    Cwmdare


RG10/5384 folio 33 page 59

Do you have Cecilia's birth certificate? This is a likely candidate:

Cecilia Thomas 1867 (March quarter)
Merthyr T volume 11a page 419
