In the 1861 Census 11 Undeb Row, Michaelston Super Avon, Neath, Glamorganshire, Wales, Mary Morris (BK1795) was head of household, as an unmarried 49 year old (born Margam), living with her daughter, 14 year old Ann Morris, a tin plate cleaner (born Michaelston super Avon). This Ann must be the Ann Sleyshon shown in the 1851 Census as a grand-daughter! I did find a baptism record of Ann Leyshon on 26 August 1846 in Michaelston super Avon, being the daughter of Thomas Leyshon and Mary, but no relevant marriage.

The other grand-daugher shown in 1851, Margaret Williams, was baptised 28 January 1840 in St. Michael's, Michaelston super Avon. Her father was given as John Williams, her mother as Elizabeth Morris, a Mantua Maker of Ynysavan. I found a marriage on 30 July 1836 of a John Williams and Elizabeth Morris in St. Mary's, Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales, but Elizabeth is unmarried and at home in the 1841 Census!
