there's more people in the same house but different household - double line in between although one is described as niece so might be related
Kate Williams niece 13 newsagent's assistant b. Glam, Merthyr.

I'm more confident about the parish names this time. The names you gave are here apart from Edgar but he could be still to come. Fred is Alfred rather than Frederick and Hetty is Esther (accepted diminutive of Esther according to my dictionary of first names) and there's a David John as well. Getting a birth cert for one of the children would give you Margaret's maiden name but I suspect that tracing the marriage might not be easy as they evidently moved around. With any luck Margaret had an unusual surname.
