In my initial post I gave you the census reference. It's RG09 Piece No 4050 Folio 73 Page 61.
You can search FindMyPast (FMP) by reference - not sure about Ancestry.
FMP have transcribed surname as Sillivan
The General Registration Office (GRO) has the death registration of a -
Dennis Sullivan, age 0, June Qtr 1861, Merthyr Tydfil, 11a 197
Thanks for the info, what a shame he died young. Do you think these are my relatives, I wander if this is why I've nevr found them because I can't find that census record you are talking about on ancestry at all.
Thanks again
After searching I still can't find that census extract being mentioned on the thread on ancestry.com. just my luck that it's going to be the correct one.
First, a belated but nonetheless a very warm welcome to Brit-gen.
The 1861 Census reads -
John Sullivan, head, 20, Labourer in Iron Works, born Ireland
Catherine Sullivan, wife, 20, born Ireland
Denis Sullivan, son, 0, born Merthyr
Daniel Sullivan, brother, 12, born Ireland
Address 2 Shepherd's Row, Merthyr Tydfil
FMP have transcribed as "Sillivan" but original looks like Sullivan - cannot speak for A*yi
