    3. I'm trying to locate my great-grandfather Thomas JONES born 5th March 1870 in Dowlais in the 1871 census. His parents were Thomas JONES and Elizabeth HUGHES (no further info on them yet). I'm looking within Glamorgan because Thomas JONES (b1870) was still resident in Merthyr Tydfil when he married in 1893 (to Agnes JAMES). I can't find the family all together in 1871, but I have found two possibilities of a Thomas JONES with a widowed mother Elizabeth: 1. Thomas Jones aged 1 born Dowlais living with great grandparents William and Jane Harris (plus 4 of their children) plus their granddaughter Elizabeth (his mother) Widow age 28 born [1843] Dowlais. Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare, ED39 Household 137W, Piece 5411, folio 19, page 34. Address: 6 Morgan Row, Cefnpennar 2. Thomas Jones aged 2 born Glamorgan living with mother Elizabeth Jones widow age 35 born [1836] ???? and 3 siblings. Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare, ED32, Household 167, piece 5409 folio 142 page 27. Address: 2 Regent Street. Can anybody with better census search skills than I locate alternative candidates? And can anyone help with the birthplace of the second Elizabeth Jones above? Thanks in anticipation Helen
