There is a Mary Richards born 1852 Llangollen, Denbighshire on the 1861 census Merionethshire, Wales, Registration District: Corwen. Living with brother James Richards.
Registration Number: RG09. Piece/Folio: 4313 / 7. Page Number: 7
 I can't see the whole census perhaps someone can see it.

Very strange this is the family I posted with no parents

James Richards Son Male 22  Welshpool, Montgomeryshire
Mary Richards Daughter  9 Llangollen, Denbighshire

I think the following John Jones age 70 widower b Dendighshire Llansiln is the head of the household and the preceding couple and household are
John Jones 59 Denbighshire
Eliza Jones 50 Lancashire Manchester

Thanks Solidrock. An interesting situation whether it's my Mary or not. There is a Factory House next door employing 39 people making flannel so maybe Mary's brother is an important enough employee as a wool dyer to have his own abode. The lack of parents to Mary aged 9 . . . tough times

"Very strange this is the family I posted with no parents"
FamilySearch do not have the previous page, the fact that are listed as son and daughter means there must be a head.

Added.

Ancestry appears to have the complete 1861 with mother, father and sibling but I have'nt got sub right now.

Thanks Kay99. Missed that - 2 addresses, albeit next to each other, but potentially one family. Not sure I understand how the son and daughter of Mr & Mrs Jones are surname Richards. Given the age difference between 'parents' and 'children' might they be grandparents/grandchildren? Just a thought.
