Hi Bella, The problem is that Bedwellty census is divided up into three towns, Aberystruth, Rock Bedwelty and Tredegar; each one of those is divided up into districts. I have looked at page 4 of each district in Aberystruth and Rock Bedwelty, and do not find the family you reference. It will take longer to check Tredegar... there are 42 districts! Is there anything else you can make out at the top of the page which might narrow it down? or can you make out the ref number RG10/____ and the folio # at the top?

My copy of the page (4) of the above census is VERY faded in some places and I can't decipher the info I need. Any help? The 3rd household lists a MARY WILLIAMS-Head; I can't tell if she is married or not, I can't tell her age, and I can't decipher her birthplace.. Immediately below her is another MARY WILLIAMS (I think) listed as daur. I can't decipher her age either nor her marital status. The remaining three children, called "grandchildren" are known to me. Sarah Anne, the youngest, is my grandmother. I am having trouble establishing the connection to "WILLIAMS" for these EVANS kids. They are found 10 years later in Mt. Ash in the household of one, DAVID WILLIAMS. where they are listed as lodgers. Hoping someone has a clearer copy and can help me out. I would also like to know the "town" as that is unclear also.' I don't speak Welsh but can say.. Diolch en Fawr.

Hi Rachel,' Thank you for your interest. These old eyes are not good.........I was wrong with the page no.. It is page 14 not 4. The RG !0 appears to be 5324. The last box says, "Ecclesiastical District of Ebbw Vale. Hope this clears things up..Thanks again.
