The 1841 censuses of upper '''Merthyr Tydfil''' and the entire parishes of '''Wrexham''' and '''Ruabon''' in the north-east are missing, as are many of the 1861 censuses. Sometimes, a lost census return is found and the ''Clwyd Family History Society'' have 'retrieved' parts of the Wrexham returns for 1841. Announcements about records that are found are usually given by a family history society journal for the area that is involved. See [[Wales Periodicals]] for information on locating a family history society journal. It is sometimes possible to locate another record that can substitute for a census. For example, part of the missing census for Merthyr Tydfil can be supplemented with the following record: | The 1841 censuses of upper '''Merthyr Tydfil''' and the entire parishes of '''Wrexham''' and '''Ruabon''' in the north-east are missing, as are many of the 1861 censuses.
