[toni*]

but what is the connection between those you just posted Les and the 1871 census people

[Lesanne]

At the moment..

I'm looking at Frances Mary Ann, wife to Charles Meredith (solicitor) from Knighton. (Not far away)

The Meredith Williams family that seem to be in and around Berriew... and attorney/curate/ etc.

[toni*]

But Fanny says she was born in Bloomsbury and if Richard Meredith Williams was an attorney would he become a coachman ?

[Lesanne]

Where did Frances Mary Ann (that is married to Charles Meredith) come from?

1861
MERIDITH, Charles Head Widower M 60 1801 Solicitor Knighton Radnorshire
MERIDITH, Fanny Daughter Unmarried F 25 1836 Bloomsbury
MERIDITH, Henry Son Unmarried M 7 1854 Paddington

1851 Charles is a widower, with daughter Fanny Spencer (bn St Georges, Bloomsbury). HO107; Piece: 1467; Folio: 307; Page: 11

Presumably then we are looking at 2 marriages and 2 deaths of wives
