William THOMAS & (Elizabeth MORGAN?) (General)

Hi Marilyn, please can you help me again. I am attempting to chronicle all the info' recieved to start up an historical list, starting with Wiliam Thomas B. 1801 in Llanelli, I do not have ny further knowledge of his life until you tell me he is married on the 25.12.1821, to Elizabeth Morgan, B. 1801 in Machen, I am assuming that they lived in Machen until they move to the Redbrook Newland area of the FOD and start a family in about 1823-5.

I am at a loss to understand, that on the 1841 Census that you sent to me, that it shows the 1st 3 children John, Mary and Elizabeth were all the same age at 15, which makes them all born in 1826, John was born in the County and the girls were not born in the County. How can that be, ha,ha ?

By the 1851.Census, for whatever reason, they have returned with the family to live again in Machen.

Apparently my Gr/Grandfather Thomas B.1834-5 in the FOD, now by 1849, approx age 14-15 as a Tinplate Worker, has already moved to Machen and is lodging with a Rees Family, I have been told by others, the address was in Black Vein, Lower Machen. He is on the 1851 Census. 1859. He marries an Elizabeth Rees (different family)(No details of Church,their living address there or any previous details of his wife Elizabeth Rees} .

Another query to answer if possible please, on yours of 22.Feb.

On the 1851 Census. The son John Thomas is living in Machen seperately from the family and at 25 he is now married (No details of marriage,work, address, etc) with his own family.

Living next door, is his brother Edward and his family (No details of marriage,work, address,etc.)I believe that Edmund . Born 24.Aug.1835, at this date would have been aged 16.
So married with a family, I think would be doubtful,what do you think?
This is as far as I have got to, up to today, always subject to my everpresent health problems.
Is it possible to find the details of of my queries?
I hope that I am not asking too much of you, so I will await your anser in your own time and convenience, regards, Norman.
