Notes
Birth Notes:
Alternatively, on the 1881 and 1891 censuses, his birthplace was noted as Glascoed.Marriage Notes (Sarah Davies)
I suspect that James gave the details for the 1871 census (his birthplace was specifically Lanvihangel, while his wife's was generally Carmarthenshire). On the 1881 and 1891 censuses, her birthplace was specific and his was Glascoed (possibly an error by his wife). I believe that she also made the same generalisation on the 1861 census with her then husband, John Pitt (who she said was from "Gloucestershire" while her birthplace was specifically Lansowel.
Sarah had family in Gelligaer parish, which was part of the Merthyr Tydfil registration district. It is quite possible that she was living in this area at the time, since her first husband, John Pitt, had died 3 years earlier, leaving Sarah with a young family to bring up alone.

Notes
Research:
Since Isaac married Jemima's mother (also named Jemima) in 1853, when Jemima was aged 4 (or 5), I have assumed that Isaac is her adopted father, not her biological dad. It is obviously possible that they just didn't formally marry for a few years.
Jemima has put Isaac as her father on her marriage certificate.
1851 census notes Jemima's birthplace as Lanfrechva Upper, a neighbouring parish to Panteg.

Notes
General:
John is listed as the nephew of Eliza Williams (nee Bartlett) ref 406, presumably via her husband John Williams of Glascoed (Ref 405).
I am not sure exactly who the parents are, since I could not find John on the 1851 census.
Strangely, John is listed on the 1861 census, with David Williams (John Wms ref 405's brother). David was the farmer at Monachty farm on this census and John jr was listed as a farm servant (relation to Head, David - Servant).
