Good morning Pauline - I have been having some further fun on the 1841 and 1851 censuses. After you found the families living so close together around Blaennant fach I thought I would look around different centres on the censuses. I found that there seems to be two centres for my family Blaennant and Adulam Row/Twyn areas. The names Hopkin, Harry, Samuel and Fisher seem to be in both centres. I then went on the marriage index and there seem to be alot of William men and women marrying into those families. Would it be too inventive to think that they all seemed to marry each other!? My conclusions were that John W c 1803 ish possibly had siblings who could have been called David , William, Ann, Mary, Ester and Sarah and Margaret. What do you think? Perhaps the three families living around Blaennant vach will shed some more light on it. I now am really enjoying this one - it is a real detective story. I wonder if everyone who does genealogy also likes a good detective thriller?! best wishes Diana

Hello Diana, My greatgrandmother worked at Blaennant fach. Have you a picture of this farm and do you know if it is still there?

There are quite a few people who write a good Family "Saga" aren't there covering say half a dozen generations. How they did it without rootsweb heaven only knows! Talkative Grans perhaps! They earn good money too. g diana murray wrote: >Good morning Pauline - I have been having some further fun on the 1841 and 1851 censuses.
