Father a labourer

Margaret Davies mmn Downes

1861 June quarter Whitchurch vol 6a pg 729

I can only see one Margaret Davies b abt 1861 in Malpas on 1881 census. She has two siblings surname Davies and her mother is Sarah Tomlinson (married, head). Could George Davies have died and Sarah married a Mr Tomlinson who was away from home on census night

Piece number 2672 Folio 83 Page 9

If those are Margaret's parents - her mother Sarah was a widow by 1871 - with a 10 year old daughter, Margaret, (and other children) shown as born Malpas and living in Malpas Suburbs.

There is also a Margaret Davies on GRO index with mother's maiden name 'Downes'. However how do you know these are her parents please?

(I still haven't seen a marriage for Thomas and Margaret).

Same family in 1861

Apologies misread census year

[Rustyruss30]

Yes got all them census but it if she has told a lie on the census that she is  married ?

[BumbleB]

So 1881 Census- Cuddington (Malpas):

We have Thomas Holmes as a Groom at Cherry Hill, the home of an Irish Landowner on page 10 AND we have Margaret Davies on page 9 (same piece number) - spitting distance of each other 

[Rustyruss30]

 Bit of a  coincidence
