Acford is probably correct because son JH Acford Dafter is found at GRO]]
(I tried to find Louisa Warden and found a Melinda Louisa Dafter married to John Francis Warden (VRI then IGI) on 13 Oct 1884 in Temple, Bristol. VRI also has in source FHL 1597218:
JFW aged 35 and previously married, and his father as James W.
MLD aged 22 and her father as Alfred D
None of these people appeared to be in 1851, 1881 censuses or Free BMD)
(UPDATES.
Hilary Thompson possibly found her as Millinda L DAFTE on 1881, as a servant in Bristol.
CHC (G) poss. found her on FreeBMD as Alinda Louisa Dafter b Mar q 1862, Bedminster, 5c, 809)
Why living in Aberdare, Wales in 1881 and 1891? I cannot find any children (or as married) there. Mr John DAFTER and Miss Johanna AC(K)FORD had the following children:
