He also has a son William aged 4 on the 1851 census, Nell (at Ystradyfodwg). William's birthplace is also just shown as Glamorgan. Presumably Mary can't be William's mother?

This looks like him in 1861:
1861 census on ancestry (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?htx=view&r=5538&dbid=8768&iid=GLARG9_4063_4065-0068&fn=Griffith&ln=Slowyd&st=d&ssrc=&pid=13657703)

Griffith Llowyd Father in Law Widower 76 Formerly farm labourer Do Docalalas(?)
William Williams Grandson 14 Iron Miner Do Rhigos

I presume that William Williams isn't William Thomas's grandson! He could be the same William who was Griffith's "son" on the 1851.

I have no idea what Docalalas is supposed to be! Hopefully people who know more about Wales might have an idea?

Likely death registration for Griffith - Jul-Sep 1865 Merthyr T registration district. This is before age at death was added to the index.

There is a baptism for a Griffith Lloyd 9 Oct 1785 at Laleston, Glamorgan, parents Griffith and Anne. I don't know whether that's in the right area? The father's occupation is butcher.

I've only just caught up with this thread - many thanks for your efforts, I'll look at all the information you've found.

The baptism looks good, Laleston is the right sort of area (west of Bridgend).

[kiterunner]

Any idea what that birthplace on the 1861 census is supposed to say, Nell?

[Nell]

Nope! It does look like Docalalas. But it isn't anything ringing any bells and of course spelling Griffith's surname as Llowyd doesn't inspire confidence in the enumerator!
