Do you have him in 61 census.Did he stay in Carmarthenshire

[debs28]

yes I got him in 61 census in Carmarthen and also  1881 census in 60, Dumfries St, Ystradyfodwg  Glamorganshire.

Nearest match I can find is:

RG10/2017/58/22
Thornford House, Thornford, Yetminster, Dorset

Gould, Hubert C  Head  M  39  Captain Militia. JP for Glamorgan  b Trowbridge, Wiltshire
Gould, Isabel F  Wife  F  28  b Llanfrithtyd, Glamorganshire
Mainwaring, David  Servant  M  25  Butler  b Aberdon, Glamorgan

I tried looking nationwide (well, OK, England & Wales!) for variations of Mainwaring.
There are 2 aged 22 (so born 1849), this one, another 2 aged 28 (b 1843).
All the others are 18 or younger, or 34 or older.

Your David could be overseas, or in Scotland?
Or there could be an awful transcription error!

Thank you so much for your help.

Not sure about this because of the surname written by enumerator    could have been a nickname....

1871  Lilly Row, Ystradyfodwg middle

David Mandy  Lodger age 23 (or 25?)  born Kidwelly  Mason
in household of Evan Jones  age 42 Shoemaker and his wife Janet

Mandry was an alternative Welsh form of Mainwaring which was used during this period. Several of my family switched from Mainwarings to Mandry and back to Mainwaring again.

It's possible that the enumerator in the 1871 census made a mistake and that David Mandy was David Mandry!
