I've received the following from one of my American Relatives and I can't find anything that can answer her question so would be grateful if someone can help on this.
Some of my Thomas family are from Wales in the town of Llanelly. In 1861what I know to be my family is listed as part of Breconshire. Then I found what might be my family in 1871 but the Llanelly says it is in Carmarthenshire. Are these two different towns or did district lines get redrawn? Anything you know is appreciated.
The only thing I could think was, did boundaries cross when the census was taken?
