Thank you, that's helpful.

I know Priscilla Hughes must have been connected to the Richards family somehow. She was living in 1841 with William and Mary Richards. Then in 1851 she lodged with James and Ann Richards (who I believe are the parents of her husband John Richards, who she married in 1852).

I may never know how she was connected to this family and whether it was through blood relation or not. I think I'll need to dive more into the Richards family to find out. I always assumed she was simply lodging with James and Ann Richards in 1851 and this is how she met her later husband John Richards (though he wasn't living with his parents then). But the 1841 census has thrown me. She must have a deeper connection to this family somehow.
