Caroline,
Yes that is my Isaac and Ellen CROSS living in Bedwelty. I have been
searching the Glamorgan 1871 Census systematically, parish by parish for
months with no luck and now I know why!!

Isaac's uncle Joseph and aunt Jane are living just 4 doors away and that is
possibly why Isaac and Ellen went to Bedwelty after their marriage, for
work. Thankyou so much for taking the time to find them. Thats what makes
this list so great, everyone is so darn helpful. Forever in your
debt........

Cheers,
Bridget in Canada
