Looking at later census years I think the husband is Evan Wilkins b 1841 Llantwitt Major and in 1871 was an attendant at Glamorgan County Lunatic Asylum  He wasn't living with the family in 1871   https://hchroniclesblog.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/bridgend-asylums-south-wales/

For information the reference number was RG10  /Piece 5417  folio 21 page 36  ;)

He wasn't living with the family in 1871   

Maybe he was on a night shift and just not there on the night of census  ;D

Looking at some of the originals,I don't think the property is called Mudhill as transcribed,but possibly New Mill,or later,The Mill Lay.There is a Mill Lay Lane in Llantwit Major.
