Susannah Williams father

[wilcoxon]

1864 Rhosymedre Church.
Susannah Williams spinster 25 married John Higginson 25. Father James Higginson.
Susannah names her father as William Morris sawyer.
I can only find one Susannah about the same age in Ruabon and her parents are Moses and Ann.
There is a William Morris a Sawyer in Ruabon but why is she giving that name as her father.
It's baffling me.🤔

Possibly Illegitimate - born as Williams but knows who her biological father was??

Have you looked for her under Williams on earlier censuses?  No birthplace given in your post

1851 Ruabon
Susannah Williams
Age:10 
Father's Name:Moses , Williams:
Mother !,Ann Williams

born:Ruabon, Denbighshire, Wales

1861 and Susannah is a servant b Ruabon.

She has 3 older siblings in 1851 so probably not illegitimate. It's a mystery.
John Higginson died in 1869.
Her later marriages are Civil  and I'm not prepared to pay for certificates.

1841 census missing.

Longshot - Moses Williams reversed - could sound like William Morris.  I did say it was a longshot 🤣🤣

Moses is a coalminer,  still around in 1871.

Susanna, daughter of Moses, isn't 10 in 1851, she's 19, so too old to be 25 on marriage in 1864.
