The only source on this profile is for a marriage and all the record says is:

Event Date: 1594 Event Place: Wenvoe, Glamorgan, Wales Spouse's Name: Lewis

That doesn't really support any of the marriage facts in the profile.

Where does the other data (birth date, location, death date, location, etc) come from? Are the birth and death years estimates? If so you could use the template for Estimated Date to indicate that. Thanks.

What is the point in having her married to a Richard Leech, how could she be having children with two men at the same time. Well maybe so but is there any sourcing for it?

Please consider detaching Richard Leech from her.

Was she 11 when she married?

no sources... nevertheless:

it seems usual that when women marry they go live with their husband. Often they die in the place their husband lived. But this person dies where she is born. A loose translation if her place of birth is Caerdydd = Cardiff? ... Cymrumap = Glanmorganshire CC Club?

Jones-27145 and Jones-1949 appear to represent the same person because: same husband. Neither profile is sourced to verify/confirm dates.

Hello,

I believe the death date for Margaret Lewis (Jones) is incorrect. Several of her children were born after 1555 and she would have been about 16 in that year. Thanks.
