Hello Carolyn,
My gg-grandfather, James Brimble, was living in Pontypridd (South Wales) at the time of his marriage to Ellen Hughes in March 1872. According to his certificate of marriage, his father's name was David.
James was born ca. 1848, in Wales according to US Censuses.
I recently received the following census info. The family groups are from Trevithin (near Pontypool), and I'm wondering if you may have any information on these people.
1851 Trevethin

Thomas "sonunm9---"
Mary"daugunm5---"
James"sonunm3---"

From the 1871 census I have the following:
Trevethin
Street Name: Garndiffaith
David BrimbleHeadWidower67coal minerSomerset (birthplace)
Thomas "SonMarried30""Trevethin
Hannah"DaugInLaw"23--Trevethin
Mary"DaugUnm.25---Trevethin
James "SonUnm.23(not clear)---Trevethin
David"SonUnm.15---Trevethin
George Henry "SonUnm.6 mths---Trevethin
I am hopeful that the family groups shown above are mine. However, I have no way to know for certain at this point. The age for James is correct. The fact that he was born in Wales & his father, David, was born in England corroborates the information obtained from the 1900 US Census.
If any of this information looks familiar to you, I would be happy to correspond with you and share whatever information I am able to.
Sincerely,
Sandi
