The 1851 Wales census has the following in Bretton Village:
Aaron Maddocks, head, Widower, aged 43, Drover, born Bretton.
Elizabeth Maddocks, mother, widow, aged 87, housekeeper, born Bretton.
They have a family by the name of Youd with them, Thomas Youd, his wife and children. Thomas shown as Lodger.
Reference HO107/2172 Page 668.
I cannot find a census with Aaaron Maddocks junior with them on it. Aaaron Maddocks born 1854 is in Wervin, Cheshire on the 1871.
Given the rather unusual name Aaron and the fact Bretton was a small village, I would think this is his father. Did he remarry before Aaron was born in 1854?
