Hi Phil

I am currently trying to index 1851 Carmarthen St Peters, there are 10,000
entries and it is slightly off-putting.....and I have quite a long way to
go.

That is one of the last parishes to be done, wish now that I had done it
first!!!! I am on the winning side now, so hopefully this will be
completed in due course, already there are about 90,000 entries in my
database.

There is a book on Trinity College, although I have not purchased it, as it
did not seem old enough for the information I normally look at.......perhaps
another person has this book?

Perhaps William Hamilton had left the week before the census was
taken.....thats normally the custom with the ones I research!!

thanks Pauline

> What a pity the student William Hamilton has not turned up in your Census
check! Did you find the College in the Census at all? It was in what is
now College Road, junction with Job's Well Road, which may in 1851 have been
just outside the town of Carmarthen. If you did find the address of the
college, this William might have been elsewhere on census day.
> Also, I wonder if Carm Record Office have any records of members of the
College? I've checked a likely site on the internet - it's now called
Trinity College, Carmarthen - but their website carries no mention of the
history or origins of the place.
