text_A: Before the coming of major industry, Abertillery was little more than an area of scattered farms in the ancient parish of Aberystruth. In 1779 the parish minister Edmund Jones described the area thus: "The valley of Tyleri... is the most delightful. The trees... especially the beech trees, abounding about rivers great and small, the hedges and lanes make these places exceeding pleasant and the passing by them delightful and affecting... in these warm valleys, with the prospect of the grand high mountains about them would make very delightful habitations." In 1799 clergyman and historian Archdeacon William Coxe toured the area and in writing a diary of his travels described it as "... richly wooded, and highly cultivated...we looked down with delight upon numerous valleys... with romantic scenery". The entire population of Aberystruth parish at the turn of the 19th century was just a little over 800. The population of Abertillery at the time is unknown, but historians conclude that it must have been in the low triple digits, and was entirely composed of Welsh monolinguals.
text_B: If eighteenth-century census records were to be found and translated so as to confirm that the population of Abertillery was indeed "less than 500" in the estimates of the time, would this information by itself be valuable to modern-day historians?
YES.
