Hi Cathy,
I have had a look on the 1881 Census for Wales and the only Orlando Williams
is the following who would have been old enough to have a son in 1901.
Williams is a very common Welsh surname, there were 108260 names listed in
Wales in1881 but just one Orlando!! You will note that Monmouth was listed
as being in England there was a dispute in the past whether it was a Welsh
or English county.

Subject: [WALES-GEN] Clifford P. Williams
Clifford P. Williams, b. 1901 NYC - d. 1987 NYC, is my maternal
grandfather.
My mother said he was Welsh, that his parents, Orlando and Hannah
Williams
were from Wales. I do not know of the town/county in Wales. How can I find
out
more about Orlando and Hannah in Wales? Is Williams a Welsh name?
Thank you very much,
Cathy in Sunny Florida,
Native of Brooklyn, NY
