Subject: Re: [CMN-FHS] LOOK-UP 1891 CENSUS PLEASE/TOM & WILLIAM PROSSERTHOMAS

Not sure if someone has already answered this for you. It all seems very
confusing.

In the 1891 census there does happen to be a Thomas Prosser Thomas who is the
son of a William prosser Thomas, but the ages don't seem to marry up with
your dates. Perhaps this is the Llanelly William for whom you have seen a
marriage in Llanelly. In which case maybe he can be eliminated as the one you are
looking for. Probably not THAT uncommon a name. Here it is anyway:
Warfe Lane, Llanelly St Pauls [RG12/4493 page 15]
William Prosser Thomas, head, 52, tinworker, Glamorganshire Ystalyfera
Margaret Thomas, wife, 49, Glamorganshire Merthyr
Jenet Thomas, daughter, widow, 28, Ystalyfera
Evan Thomas, son, 28, fireman, Ystalyfera
Catherine Evans, daughter, 14, scholar, Swansea
Thomas Prosser Thomas, son, 11, scholar, Llanelly
William John Thomas, son, 9, scholar, Llanelly

Maggie Thomas, daughter, 3 (8?), scholar, Llanelly


Prosser Thomas, son, 5, scholar, Llanelly

Mary Thomas, daughter, 7 (1?), scholar, Llanelly

Confusingly, there is another family (maybe related?) also in Llanelly St
Pauls:
5 Dock Terrace, Llanelly St Pauls [RG12/4493 page 30]

William Prosser Thomas, head, 26, tinworker, Glamorganshire Ystalyfera

Margaret Thomas, wife, 27, Llanelly

Maggie Thomas, daughter, 5, scholar, Llanelly

Sarah Thomas, daughter, 3, scholar, Llanelly

William R Thomas, son, 7 months, infant, Llanelly








Don't know if that helps in piecing things together.

I'm trying to find my husband's grandfather and great grandfather in 1891.
Despite pointers to Tenby and Ystalyfera I have recently discovered a
William
Prosser Thomas born in Crickhowell in 1867: he died there in 1895. I also
have a marriage for a William Prosser Thomas in Llanelly. William's son,
Tom
Prosser Thomas would have been born about 1889, 26 at the time of his
marriage in Cornwall in 1915. I'm hoping someone can do a look-up of the
1891
Census and see if they can find Tom and his father William there.
