Hello everyone, I am once again trying to knock down my frustrating brick wall with regards to my 2 x gt. Grandparents Daniel Bassett and Catherine Williams and would be most grateful for any help or suggestions. Daniel was born in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire c 1819 and Catherine in Breckonshire c1817 - Daniel's father was also Daniel and Catherine's father was David. They were married St. Cadoc's Church, Trevethin, Mon. 21/112/1839 - I have no records relating to their mothers - They were certainly still in Wales 1841 and 1851 census, along with their children, however I have tried many times to find them on the 1861 census but have had no luck at all . I think that they were still in the same area in 1861, because in 1866 their daughter Mary who was then aged 19 or 20 had a child James (no father given on the birth certificate recorded in Abersychan, Trevethin, Pontypool) in 1866 and is recorded on the 1871 census as their son instead of grandson (he died in 1878) because they do seem to be a very close knit family (their eldest daughter Elizabeth had married in 1864) they all appear to have moved together to Stoke on Trent area as they are all recorded on the subsequent census records with the exception of Catherine who died in 1889 and Daniel who did not die until 1895 and he is my other brick wall as I can't find him on the 1891 census. I have posted this request on previous occasions but I know that sometimes brick walls just come tumbling down. Thank you - Lilian

Lilian Be mindful that the 1861 census was taken on the Easter bank holiday weekend and many families visited their relatives during this period ... So you may find them elsewhere.
