Willie, do you have Joseph Morris from 1851 census, if not, give me the age you have for him from 1861 and I can look for you...... The Seaside area of Llanelli has changed so much, buildings have gone and been replaced mainly by roads.....the area around Siloah has altered too. My grandfather and family were from Seaside.....and were of Siloah.....surname Harvey and Thomas, but the Thomas's were from Aberdaron North Wales...so not there until the 1870's.
