Is this the 1881 Census for Catherine?

All born Bangor

And 1901 same address:
Catherine Owen   69 Head Widow born Llanfar P G, Anglesey
Robert Owen 23 Grandson

1871 Catherine is Married, a Nurse, living in a Surgeons Household, born c 1834 Bangor.

Thank you so much for all the help.

Ellen is a bit of a confusing one. I will have to keep a look out for her name during my family tree search and see if she shows up again
Catherine can be found 1881 at 17 deans court  Widow birth 1835
Living with her
John son  23 born 1858 Pork butcher
Robert  son 16 born 1865 Pork butcher

I think I have found a possible marriage for Catherine and Robert earlier than 1860

You could try "Welsh Journals". Same again just pop "Dean's Court" in Search - 27 hits.

Note - I am not trying to associate with the surname Owen, just info re "Dean's Court"

https://journals.library.wales/

NOTE - you could try searching Welsh newspapers for your "rellie" but you'll appreciate it's a very common name - more hits than you can shake a stick at. That's when the filters might help.

Thank you for helping pointing in the right direction with searching.
You are right it is a very common surname which doesn’t help 🤪🤪

Yes that Marriage looks more likely
