Dear Anne The 1861 shows Margarets father as William Llewellyn, then aged 80. The only William I see which fits, is as shown on the 1841 I sent you. There he was living with Mary and his daughter. William married Mary Phillips at Bosherston in 1815. Your Margaret was baptised at Bosherston on the 26th May 1816. Her brothers and sisters were according to the baptisms James baptised 26th March 1820 Sarah baptised 5th April 1827 (this will be the Sarah shown at home with mum and dad on the 1841 census). There may have been others but these are the only three shown. The family including Mary Evans were living at Alma as you will see by the 1861 census before Mary married James Baker. By 1871 Mary was widowed. The 1841 shows Margaret Evans, living at Back Lane Bosherston, which if you remember is the same address as her Mum and Dad. There were probably several cottages there. In house were Margaret age 25, Mary age 4, Sarah age 2 and William age 14 days. I presume Dad was out working somewhere. According to the 1841 Mary Phillips who married William Llewellyn is shown as age 55 (remember that in 1841 ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 or 0), that puts her as born roughly 1786. Sarah their daughter by 1851 was working in St Issells. The burials show the following Llewellin, Mary - bur. 2 7 1858 (age - 81) Llewelling, Ann - bur. 30 6 1824 (age - 67) Llewellyn, Elizabeth - bur. 4 6 1882 (age - 2) Llewellyn, Thomas - bur. 10 6 1882 (age - 00) Llewhellin, Elizabeth - bur. 25 5 1811 (age - ) Llewhelyn, John - bur. 27 2 1832 (age - 88) In 1851 they still lived in Back Lane, Bosherston. William aged 70 a labourer born in Bosherston and this bit of extra information Mary age 72 born COSHESTON. So between 1841 and 1851 Mary had gained 17 years not 10. If the above burial of a Mary Llewellin in Bosherston is her then it shows her as age 81 in 1858, making her born approx 1777. So really you need to look at Cosheston records and try to find a baptism for a Mary Phillips around 1777 to 1786. If you can find that then you will know her parents. I hope the above proves to be of some help to you. Best Wishes Sylvia .................................................................
