Here she is with her family in 1901 [ I think the address reads Maypole Cottage, which is in Cwmbran

William H Walters    38 b Bristol   Grocer
Elizabeth A Walters    38 b Newport Sub-Postmistress
Daisy Walters            12 b Cwmbran
Gertrude Walters      10  "
Wilfred Walters    8    "
Austen Walters      7    "
Kathleen Walters    5    "
Madaline Walters    4    "
Elsie Mary Walters    1    "
Gerald Walters    3 Months "
Emely Woods    24          Domestic servant

From info on the 1911 I suspect there is an older child away somewhere.

Looking for 1891 now can't seem to find them...William Walters and Elizabeth Ann Greenwood married in 1885 in Neath.

Latin: Nunquam Otio Torpebat.  After googling think in Latin it means something like
("He never relaxed in idleness")

I may be wrong thou  ???

The electoral registers may be a possibility to trace them forwards.
