Hi Sue of Perth...There is a David Thomas age 15 years listed in the 1841 census does it give a relationship and
in the 1851 census
David, Evan and Mary are listed as Jenkines is this the same as the other members of the family Benjamin, James Jenkins..that is are they all siblings

Hi Sue, I have to digest the census information that you have given me..I cannot thank you enough for all.....on second thoughts I know that Benjamin Jenkins born 1835 died in 1895 so I feel that there is a 1891 census for him and catherine.

Sue from Perth Oz

Sue from Perth Oz Report 5 Dec 2007 05:20

Sorry not having any luck finding them 1891

Thank you Sue for your Help and for the marriage of Maria Evans and Benjamin Jenkins 8th Nov 1830..I will see where Lampeter is located..I found a birth on the batch numbers of the IGI of a son Benjamin born 1834 to Maria and Benjamin Jenkins .. the years were a little out but I feel sure that it must be linked...I was interested in Benjamin Jenkins b 1835 and his wife Catherine if there were any children...as they took in nieces and nephews in their tailor business and my grandmother when she was 8 or 9 years of age when her father died. Once again many thanks for your HELP
