  Notes for Elizabeth (Humphreys):
According to her gravestone, Elizabeth was 78 at the time of her death, so was born in 1815 or 1816. However, in the Censuses for 1861, 1871 and 1891, her age is consistent, being given as 42, 52 and 72, which would indicate that she was born in 1818 or 1819. She is shown as a widow in the 1891 Census, living at #22 Gefnan with her son Robert.

  v.   Humphrey Humphreys, born Bet. 1849 - 1850 in Llandegai, Carnarvonshire, North Wales.
  Notes for Humphrey Humphreys:
Humphrey's last name is given as Humphreys in the 1861 Census, but as Pritchard in the 1871 Census, although he is still listed as a son of Owen and Elizabeth Humphreys. His brother Richard's marriage was witnessed by a Humphrey "Prichard"... Are the two the same person? Probably not. People were still sometimes using their father's first name as their own surname even into the 1800's, and this would mean that he was Humphrey "ap Richard", i.e. Humphrey, son of Richard, NOT the son of Owen!

  2 vi.   Richard Humphreys, born Abt. 1853 in Llandegai, Carnarvonshire, North Wales; died September 09, 1923 in North Wales; married Mary Williams September 09, 1874 in St. Ann's Church, Llandegai, Carnarvonshire, Wales.
  vii.   Robert Humphreys, born Abt. 1858 in Llandegai, Carnarvonshire, North Wales.
