Someone will have submitted that info salimali but I wouldn't think it's very reliable as she is definately a servant not a daughter and has a different surname to the rest of the family... and none of them are from Llanwddyn.
The head of the household is a Farmer of a corn pasture (I think!)

Kind regards

Many thanks Cathy
This looks promising as the family history has her from Mallwyd. but I do not understand why there are two versions of her name
Margaret Davies
Margaret Jones.
Is there a posssible reason for this?
I am new to this and am on a steep learning curve
Thanks

Trying to find Magaret Davies , Born around 1855 at Llanwddyn, Montgomeryshire.
Can not find her on GR but a quick look at Ancestry shows a possible on the 1861 and 1871 census. I do not subscribe to Ancestry so if anyone who does and has the time and is willing to look it up for me I would be very thankful.
