Hi Charley  :D

I have searched the 1861 Census for you and as you can imagine there were very many matches to your family  :P
I did however search for Margaret due to your very specific age of her which yielded no results. I think did a surname search of all Davis / Davies infants born in Swansea in 1861 there were 26 matches but none which match the parents details.

Some local information for you:
Trevivian is Vivian's Town which was the local name for Hafod in Swansea named after Odo Richard Vivian (1875-1934)


  :-\ sorry I cannot be more specific. Regards Jen

Hi Jen,  Thanks for your trouble and for the info on Trevivian - I have the 1851 census from a visit to wales some years ago,  and the family were located Fol 511 - can't read the next column but the number is 012 - census address Trevivian.  William was born 30 Sept 1851 thus missing the census!  Typical. 
Don't worry about this if this doesn't  help you, and thanks again, Charley   :)
