Hello

 How sure are you of the date of birth of Kate?
I have not found  Evan,Margaret and Kate together.
Is there a possibility that they were orphaned?

There is a Margaret Ellen 13 in 1901  living with
her uncle and aunt Josiah and Margaret Williams in the Aberdare
Area.  they also have a Margaret  aged 3 living with them
in 1891 designated as daughter.
Margaret`s place of birth is given as Aberdare in 1901
and Cwmbach in 1891

 There is a Kate Selina Williams  Born 1883 living as a
 boarder with a Beddoe family in 1891 and 1901 in
the Aberdare Area.  they also have an adopted child
in one census.
Kate`s bithplaces are described as Tylorstown  and
Wattstown.
The following may be Kate`s birth record

PONTYPRIDD
 SEPTEMBER 1883
CATHERINE SELINA WILLIAMS

11a 344
