Thankyou Bob for your info on those 2 families.
The only thing that worries me is that William Williams should not have been
born at that time.

The 1841 census for Llangristiolus shows two couples with the
same names living in adjacent dwellings at Pant y mwda.
The second family could be yours.
Richard Williams 35 Ag Lab
Grace Williams 30
Elianor Williams 8
Jane Williams 6
Margaret Williams 4
William Williams 2
Richard Williams 6m
Richard Williams 25 Ag Lab
Grace Williams 20
William Williams 7
Mary Williams 1
(ages above 15 are rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5, and
birthplaces are in the same county)
The 1891 OS map shows Pant mwda at
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ grid reference 242427,371256.
Apparently it is a row of 4 houses and the same buildings appear in modern
maps
