Rachel Griffiths 20 Bettws 1851 Daughter

Interesting that the census transcriber shows the 20 year old daughter as being the farmer of 259 acres.
Father's age does not tally with the period of the census

Note: the parish record conflicts with the census page insofar as a misalignment of names and occupatios and places. Plus, the transcription quality is very poor when it comes to spellings of farms

Note: This census appears to show that this is no longer a farm as the occupants are a blacksmith and family. The blacksmith (head of the family) is 87, so is unlikely to appear on subsequent census records
