Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me in locating any information prior to 1891 for my 2nd Great-Grandfather David Isaac DAVIES. In 1901 & 1891 censuses, he and his wife/children lived in Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales. He worked as a coal miner. My family's oral history says the Davies family were from Pontrhydyfen, Wales.
He was born Abt. 1858;
-in the 1901 census his birthplace is listed as Abercarne, Monmouthshire
-in the 1891 census his birthplace is listed as Risca, Monmouthshire
My searches have turned up several possible matches for a David Davies born 1858 in Monmouthshire, I'm just not sure which is the correct one.

Below is more information about the family if helpful:
Married Emma HARDY Abt. 1881-1882
Emma was born Abt. 1854 in Sutton, Nottinghamshire, England.
In 1881, Emma HARDY was an unmarried servant in Manningham, Yorkshire, England with her sister Annie HARDY.
-Daughter Hanna born 1882 in Aberaman, Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales
-Son George born 1884 in Aberaman, Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales
-Daughter Mary Jane born 1889 in Aberaman, Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales
-Son David Isaac born 1892 in Aberaman, Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales
-Twins Earnest Bernard & Helena born 10/9/1893 in Aberaman, Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales
-Son Frank born 1897 in Aberaman, Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales
In 1907, the entire family emigrated from Wales to Peoria, Illinois, where David Isaac Davies continued to work as a coal miner; I believe he died between 1910 and 1920 in Peoria, Illinois.

Any and all clues are greatly appreciated! Thank you!
