Williams Family Tree

The 1871 census for Margaret Williams is a real stretch. The 1881 census has her at the Rising Sun Inn, 133 High Street, Cefn Coed, living with her mother Eliza who is 69. This 1871 version has her living at the George Inn, which I think is 139 High Street, Cefn Coed, with her 57 year old mother Eliza. Margaret's age looks good.

Fortunately, they took their servant with them.

1881 Mary Thomas 23 Vaynor
1871 Mary Thomas 14 Cefn

which is close enough.

So the similarities are:

Same Mother name
Same mother age within 2 years
Same Margaret name
Same Margaret age
Same Margaret birthplace
Same servant name
same servant age within 1 year
Same servant birthplace
Same street
Same trade
But! Eliza's birthplace moved from Camarthenshire to Vaynor. Boo!

I think it's right and Eliza's birthpalce is wrong on the 1881 census. I'm going with that.
