Priscilla Davies in Wrexham workhouse 1881

[svb111]

I am seeking more information about Priscilla Davies and her son William Henry Davies.
Priscilla is 18 years old and  in Wrexham workhouse on the 1881.
 Her son is born in the workhouse on  6 July 1881 (no father's name given.)
I know nothing about Priscilla's family so I am stuck.
  I can not find either one on the 1891 census
William married Violet Bell in 1907 and know his details from there to his death in 1967.
Please can anyone help or advise as to where to go from here?
        Thanks SVB

Sorry - there were 2 Priscilla Davies in Wrexham - of the same age- the one who married Henry, b. Welshpool and the one in the workhouse, b. Broughton   

Back to the drawing board.

I think your Priscilla is in Gwersyllt in 1871 - mother was Mary

Ref - RG10/5654/118/40

(Siblings have mixed birthplaces!)

Just a comment on some online trees which have priscilla born Great Broughton, Chester. In the 1881 she is down as Broughton, Denbighshire. This is likely to mean Pentre  Broughton, Wrexham, close to Gwersyllt. See this map:

The 1871 has her born Wigan  and her sister, Hannah, b. Southsea - which is again close by. If she was less than 3 when the family moved back from Lancashire, it might well be that she though she was born Broughton. Moss is next door to Broughton.

Added - note the 3 year old brother, William Henry Davies, on the 1871.
