Notes for Edward Jones
He was first found named as the father of the bride in the marriage of Mary Jones and David Puntan in 1869.  Then he appeared next door to his daughter in the 1871 census.  And died between then and 1891 when his wife Sarah was a widow.

In 1871 he was at Wern Fawr Houses, Llanguick, Neath, Glamorganshire, Wales:

Now to see what else can be found for the commonest name in Wales!

All his children from the 1871 census were born in Carmarthens.  So, for the first 15 years of marriage they lived in Cardigans and sometime before 1871 moved to Glams.

But, with the revised birthdate he was found on the 1881 census and next door was his daughter and son-in-law, Mary and David Pountan (aka Puntan), so this has to be the right Edward and Sarah Jones at 12, Brick Row, Llanguick, Pontardawe, Glamorganshire, Wales:
