Henry Howells on 1911 Census (General)
Any Ideas on this please.....
1911 Census BLAINAU GWENT ABERTILLERY
Henry Howells aged 4oyrs Labourer Underground B Yorkley
Norah Howells aged 25yrs B Cinderford (Maiden Name could be Jefferies)
Frederick James Lodger Single 23yrs Collier on Coal Hewer B Yorkley
OLIVER HENRY THOMAS aged 37 married Lodger Collier Hewer B Bream
Frederick Thomas Son aged 2yrs B Cwntillery
Elise Thomas Daughter 5 months B Cwntillery
Oliver Henry Thomas is Married to Clara Howells who on 1911 census is in Bream Eaves with her children. (Oliver is Edwin Oliver Thomas B 1873/4 Bream father Thomas Birt but no father on Birth Certificate only mother)
Now why would a collier go to Abertillery to do the same work,who are the two Thomas children,and Clara Thomas was a Howells so is there a connection there.
I can't find these on The Parish Records.
Any help please

Oliver Henry Thomas married Clara Howells my husbands Grandparents.On their marriage certificate he names his Father as Thomas Birt.
All very odd on 1911 Census Kate Maud Webb is with Clara as a Boarder single aged 29yrs Home Work B Bream also John Carver as Widower aged 62 he was on 1891 census with George and Ester Smith.I don't think I will ever sort this lot out.

I've just had a look on Ancestry and there is a tree (which I'll look again at....) which states
James Edwin THOMAS married Louisa HOWELLS (of Redbrook - father THOMAS - Tinplate Work Manager) one witness was John HOWELL 27 March 1864 Saint James Bream
This is on FOD records, James THOMAS age 34 Widower - Louisa was a Servant at Bream Parsonage.....
