    I have now found the 1851 Census entry for Margaret Rowland, which says she was aged 30 born at Whitchurch, which is a suburb of Cardiff. Do you have her in the 1841 Census, or know her age when she died?

    This is one of those Ancestry entries which does not generate any obvious pedigree - so this age of 30 could be out by a couple or more years. Also for servants, you cannot always trust the location given where they were born in the Census. In 1851 the Cardiff Registration District stretched all the way up as far as Dinas in the Rhondda Valley. The Pontypridd Registration District only came into existence in 1863. By 1851, Walter Coffin had retired from active involvement in management of his pits, and was a JP and soon an MP. But Moses Rowlands had helped him in the early days by doing a lot of the book keeping paperwork. So he may still have taken family members down to Cardiff to help him, out of loyalty. There was also a Thomas Rowlands, brother of Moses Rowlands, who was killed along with two of his sons in the 1844 coal-mining disaster at Dinas caused by a gas explosion - the first major colliery accident in the Rhondda (12 killed). Rowland Rowlands, in the 1894 newspaper article, was also working at the pit when that all happened, and they had another brother, called Rees Rowland - who had this daughter called Margaret, who age-wise looks a reasonable fit for the 1851 Census entry.
