On the image of the 1851 census (posted on 20 May by Alviegal),
Alfred's brother Thomas , 11, is said to have been born in Llangathoe, Brecon.

Presumably he would be with Alfred in 1841.

Google suggests "Llangathoe" is Llangattock in the Brecon Beacons.
That would be in Crickhowell reg district.

Possible birth??

DAVIES, THOMAS mmn DAVIES
GRO Reference: 1841 M Quarter in CRICKHOWELL Volume 26 Page 298

But can't see him in 1841.

I can't see him in 1841 either. I'm going to get a digital image of his birth to see exactly where he was living. The registration district was Crickhowell but the parish was Llangatwg (Llangattock when anglicised). This area is quite confusing and became Bedwellty later. Watch this space!

Sadly, not our Thomas. This one's mother was Mary Davies, formerly Davies, of Tabor Meeting House, Brynmawr. Back to the old drawing board.

Of course there is the possibility that William & Elizabeth had married after Thomas' birth :-)

This appears to be the family in the 1861 Census

Edward Hemfray 19 Lodger Llanidloes, Monmouthshire, Wales
David Hemfray 21 Brother Llanidloes, Monmouthshire, Wales

Looking at that, it implies that David Hemfray is the brother of William Davies, or does it mean he was the brother of the lodger, Edward Hemfray? I think that's more likely because the birth places are different.

Annie

I would think it means that Edward & David are brothers :-)
