I know from doing other searches that they often are not. One relative I was researching was 14 in 1871, 26 in 1881 and 1891 she was 28.
There are at least four Jane Jones between the ages of 18 and 20 born in Merthyr Tydfil and working as servants on the 1881 census besides the one you found.
I have taken a look at the 1871 census and I did found a Jane Jones born in Dowlais living with her father Thomas Jones. Just don't know how to make sure I have the right family.
But thank you for your help, Caroline . I hadn't noticed that Jane Jones. Will have to take a closer look at that one.
