Hi Carolyn, I looked for your Joseph Bowen in the 1871 census as indexed on ancestry.com. Not all the Wales counties are indexed at this time, though Pembrokeshire is. {Don't know if it is complete}. I could not find anyone close to Joseph's age [44]. The closest in age was 55 and he was a collier. His wife's name was Ann. Doesn't look like your fellow. He was born in Begelly, Pembrokeshire. Residing in civil parish St. Issels. If you think this is him, let me know. Debbie From: [email protected] Subject: [WLS-PEM] 1871 Census look up Request Pls.
