I'm trying to locate Benjamin Nicholas in Breconshire in 1861. The
information for him in 1881 is:-

Dwelling: No 16 Dryssiog St
Census Place: Bedwellty, Monmouth, Wales
Source: FHL Film 1342263 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 5246 Folio

Marr Age Sex Birthplace

Benjamin NICHOLAS M 38 M Pendershire
Rel: Head
Occ: Coal Miner
Ann NICHOLAS M 44 F Monmouth, England
Rel: Wife
Eliner NICHOLAS M 18 F Brecknock, Wales
Rel: Daur
Occ: Colliers Wife
Eliras NICHOLAS U 13 M Monmouth, England
Rel: Son

Mary NICHOLAS U 14 F Monmouth, England

Occ: Home

Benjamin is Pendershire, probably Pembrokeshire. My grandfather John
Jones's sister Ann Jones is married to Benjamin. Their daughter Eliner
(Elinor) was born in Brecknock in circa 1863.

Eliras ( Elias) and Mary Nicholas were born in Monmouhshire in 1868 and
1867 respectively.

Can anyone find Benjamin Nicholas's family on 1861 please?

best wishes

Of interest to anyone who has ancestral connections with the old county of
Monmouthshire.--
