Hello all Of total inconsequentiality, I find that Curlew's Quay in Slebech parish listed in the 1891 census is shown as Curlysky on the OS 1:25,000 scale map. This property was (is?) the nearest building to the point where the Western and Eastern Cleddau rivers meet to become the Daugleddau. I think the census entry is interesting - 58 year old John Williams and his 59 year old wife Ann apparently have a 7 year old son Henry. Is he actually their son or is he a grandson (possibly born out of wedlock)? Or was it common for a 52 year old woman to have a child in the 1880s? The 1881 census shows Ann as being 48, so I haven't mistranscribed her age. I suspect that couples taking a grandchild as their own was quite common in order that the daughter didn't have the stigma of having an illegitimate child. It seemed to be a very sensible way to get around a social difficulty. I remember reading about a Hollywood filmstar (Jack Nicholson?) who only later in life discovered that his "mother" was actually his grandmother and his "sister" was actually his mother. Gerry Lewis
