What year was the railway completed around Welshpool? That is the
first question you need to be asking. I know the Llanidloes to Newtown
wasn't completed until 1859. Thus if she was born pre railway era then
her father is going to have a completely different occupation.
I know that doesn't help you much but don't discount so quickly either
being a contender.
Did you try looking for the birth of a sibling, especially if born
later. Does witnesses from e.g. Marriage give you contenders?

Hello all
I am trying to find my greatgrandmother Margaret Evans
Information I have to date
1881,1891,1901 census living in wolverhampton and birthplace as Welshpool
1911 Census Living in Wolverhampton and Birth place of Cwmllinau caemmes
(which is where her two children were born)
On her first marriage cert her father is David a Railway porter
On her second marriage cert father is Davis a carrier
>From the ages given on the census and marriage certs she was born 1855 1856
I have contacted Powys registry office and surprisingly they only have two
possible births in the Welshpool area however the first the father is a
farmer and the second the father is a Grocer and Draper
So I doubt that it is either of these.
Can anyone suggest where I could try next?
I have not been able to find her on either the 1861 or 1871 Census
