1871 Census problem reading relationship
« on: Wednesday 25 June 08 19:46 BST (UK) »

On the 1871 Census Pembrokeshire Cosheston  I have  Elizabeth Lewis age 18 , born Liverpool.living with William Angel 34 and Elizabeth Angel 33. Can anyone read Elizabeth Lewis' relationship to the head of the family? Could it be visitor or sister?
Any help is appreciated.

I agree with Tati, Visitor

 Thanks Tati and Barbara for checking. I am still not sure but visitor does seem the most likely and I haven't thought of any other connection. Family story said there is a connection to the Angel family but I can't find any relationship.
