Right. Firstly - how do you know the 1861 and 1871 are the same person? South Wales and Cumberland - quite a discrepancy there!

Can you tell us who he married?

I have been trying for ages to find more about this man,but not really got very far
His name was Simon Rees born 1830c. somewhere????
Who I think is him on the 1841 census was born in Pembrokeshire and lives in Kenarth,Newcastle Emlyn.
1851, if this is the same person, says born Penrith lives Aberdare
Now I know the following ones are definitely him.
1861 Mistranscribed as RISE lives Regents Pk London..born South Wales
1871 Lives Kentish Town born Cumberland.
His marriage gives his father as William Rees,a farmer.
I wondered if someone with the actual census could look and see if the 1841/1851 were copied wrongly onto the Genes records???
Or,is there a birth for Simon on parish records?
I am really stuck,don't know whether to look in England or Wales for his parents!!!
Thanks for any help.
