I’ve been working a lot on this website and thought I’d try to flesh out the information on some of the Dineens. I looked for Jeremiah Dineen in the 1881 census and found this likely candidate in Risca:

   1881                 Nr Railway Tavern, Risca, Monmouthshire
   Name                 Relation Condition Age Occupation                   Where Born

   Sarah Ann            Wife           Mar       26    Wife                 Risca,
   Danni                                                                    Monmouthshire

                                                                            Monmouthshire

And again in 1891:

Hemmings

Flushed with success, I thought I’d look again for Louisa Hemmings in the 1891 census. I searched for all names beginning with ’lou’ in Monmouthshire and found a Louisa Hemmings indexed under the name Hammonds! She was working as a servant in Christchurch.

   1891                  1 Ammerley Road, Christchurch, Monmouthshire
   Name                  Relation Condition Age Occupation                   Where Born

 . . . quoted from RG12-4368-50-12 ()

Then I found Louisa’s sister Helena living with her uncle Denis:

On the same page was a Johanna Ford. I believe that this is Johanna Dineen
