WATKINS MEEK and PRICHARD families at Petty Croft Ruardean (General)

Here are some observations after looking at the MEEK and PRICHARD families who were living next door to the JOHNSON / WATKINS family on the census that slowhands provided for me today.
With knowing of other WATKINS family connections with the MEEK's I now have a new theory. It could be that Elizabeth MEEK who is listed as the head may well have been born Elizabeth WATKINS who is an elder sister to Ester WATKINS who is a daughter of John and Comfort WATKINS. Elizabeth was born abt. 1831 so her age matches up.
Additionally Emma PRICHARD who on this 1891 census is living in the same house as Elizabeth and listed as her daughter could well be Emma who on an earlier census is listed as daughter of Esther WATKINS again the age matches up witin a year.
Without knowing the complications that exist in my family tree like I do it may be hard for others to pick up on what I am saying but if anybody has possible connections to these MEEK or PRICHARD families please contact me.
