Dear Norma,
My apologies. I'll have to change my search list; I think I've misled you.
I should have put Monmouthshire, not Monmouth. I keep forgetting that
Monmouth is the town and shire has to used to indicate the county. All my
Williams [to my knowledge] lived in the Rhymney, Tredegar, Sirhowy region. I
don't know that any of them lived in Monmouth.
But who knows? I'll keep you in my file of Williams - too common a surname
unfortunately! :-)
Regards and blessings,
Joanne Snyder, searching -- corrected list:
WILLIAMS - MONMOUTHSHIRE, GLAMORGAN
EVANS - MONMOUTHSHIRE, GLAMORGAN [Caerphilly, Merthyr]
BENNETT - CARDIGANSHIRE, RADNORSHIRE, MONMOUTHSHIRE
NICHOLLS - SHROPSHIRE, RADNORSHIRE
SCOTT - ROXBURGH SCOTLAND, RADNORSHIRE
MEREDITH - HEREFORDSHIRE, RADNORSHIRE
MASON - MONMOUTHshire [not sure they originated here]
also COOPER - WORCESTERSHIRE -STAFFORDSHIRE
and SOUTHALL - ditto
