Thanks MPGriffiths, I hadn't spotted the consecutive pages of the 1881 census, as I'd researched each separately. I've always thought that the 3 families might be aware of each other in Manchester; their closeness on the census makes that more likely. I have seen the birth certificate of that Edward Sindry and he was the son of Sarah. Edward was born 26 Nov 1868 at Oldlands Common Bitton Gloucs. He died in WW1 in 1917. That was my first post on this forum and am pleased to have such a positive reply! I feel I've drifted from the original topic however; I used Google maps to ascertain that Slowhands could have a point - Pontnewynydd is indeed very close to Trevethin. There is a lovely resource that allows you to view old Ordnance Survey maps - to 6 inch scale, published by the National Library of Scotland: http://maps.nls.uk/os/6inch-england-and-wales/index.html
It has a map published 1886 of the area including Trevethin (surveyed 1879-1881) Worth a look to find places that may have "disappeared"...
