Forgot to add, John and Ann are alive in 1861 at 1, Plantation Rd, Merthyr.

John is a Moulder by occupation. And in 1851 is living in Aberdare with Evan Hopkins and wife Margaret. Stated as Brother in law. But when I search for the Evan Hopkins marriage I find that Margarets father is John who is also a Moulder. This marriage was in 1845 in the parish church of Aberdare.


For info. - no relationships given on 1841 census this appear to be Margaret & John LEWIS with their parents and siblings living in Aberdare in 1841
