Husband Family in Wales

Surnames: Husband/Williams
I'm searching for information about the Husband family from Glamorgan, Treherbert, Wales, specifically for Margaret (Maggie) Husband. She was born abt. 1894 in Glamorgan, Treherbert, Wales. Her siblings were Thomas, Walter, William, John, Mary, David (aka Harry), Katie and Lillie. Her parents were William Husband and Charlotte Escott.

Margaret is my great-grandmother. Per family history she married someone with the last name of Williams (first name unknown) and had, to my knowledge, one child, my grandmother Elsie Williams, who was born either 1914 or 1915 (records vary). Supposedly both Margaret and her husband died (whether together or separately I don't know) and Elsie was raised by her maternal grandmother, Charlotte Husband, until she too passed away. My grandmother then emigrated to the U.S. in 1923 aboard the Majestic with her Aunt Katie, Katie's husband Ivor Evans and their two daughters, where my grandmother was given into the care of her Uncle David (Harry) Husband, then residing in Indiana, later moved to Plymouth, Pa. My grandmother disembarked in Boston, so information about her does not appear on the Ellis Island manifests. I've been unable to find a marriage record or death record for Margaret (Husband) Williams, and I've been unable to trace a birth record for my grandmother. I'm starting to wonder if there is a possibility that Elsie either was not her full given name or that it was her middle name and she had a different first name.

Any information would be helpful. I have a decent amount of information on other members of Margaret's family, so if anyone is descended from them I'd be more than happy to share.
