Hello Pauline - thanks for the email Sarah Thomas was 60 in the 1861 census and still living in Blaennant. In the 1871 census she was 70 so she should be 50 in the 1851 and 40 or so in the 1841 censuses. I went through the 1841 and the only one I could find was with a William Williams in Llangennach 5 page 13. I hope this will not be so vital when you see my other emails!! Diana
