Name:                       Mother's Maiden Surname:
CRICHTON, WINEFRED EVA      POWYS

________________

In the 1891 census she, with her mother and sister and uncle - so it was her - was using the name of Gwyneth Eva, aged 10.  And she continue to use this name until 1940 when she died.

So I have changed her first forename.
