Ann Price has no occupation because she lost her right arm age 12 in an accident crossing the railway line. She never married.
Margaret Price married a clergyman and had a son, Oswald.
Catherine Price married and had two sons, Elfed and Pethion. Elfed was a tram/bus driver on the route to Cefn cemetery. The family always used to wait for his tram to arrive because he never let them pay.
The Davies family are relatives of Mary Price Senior who was nee Davies, although this is a red herring. Dinah is another Price daughter known as Sarah in the 1881 census. Don’t know how they all fitted in as The Triangle houses were all two up/two down.
