Hi everyone,
I would appreciate a lookup for Alfred DILLON, aged about 10 in the 1851
census please.
He is not home with his father, his mother has possibly passed away by
then. His father, John DILLON, was at 424 Croft St, Holyhead. I know
Alfred was alive, he emigrated to NZ with his father and stepmother in
1857.
Where is he?
Many thanks for your kindness
Cheers

I found the following two graves in the cemetery at Arrowtown, Central
Otago, New Zealand, hope they help someone fill in a gap in their
family tree. If they belong to anyone on the list please contact me and
I will try to find out more about their deaths.
1. Lewis Robert JONES, from Llangseeny (?) Isle of Anglesey, who died
at Frankton Hospital on 31st August 1878 aged 47 years. The headstone
also had the following inscription: Gwyn eu byd y meun y ahai sydd yn
mareu an yn anglwydd
2. John Griffith WILLIAMS, Caunant, from Llanberns, Carnarvonshire on
8th August 1878 aged 42 years. His headstone had the following
inscription: Gwyn eu byd y meirn y ahai sydd yn mareu an yn arclwydd.
Please forgive me for any mistakes in the transcription as both
headstones are weathered and difficult to read in parts. As everyone
will know I don't speak Welsh but spent three days in Hollyhead earlier
this year and made a vain attempt to find my ancestors.

I have a letter written to my Great Aunt in 1923 by Ada Davies. She said
that she had been married for about 4 years to Douglas Davies and lived
at Holyhead at that time. She also said that she was a child of Hugh ? and
was adopted by Uncle Thomas ? She also mentions relatives at Bodedern,
Trefor and Llanerchymedd and relatives buried at Peniel. We believe she
has a connection to the Henry Roberts family who lived on the Pentre Felin
farm in the Parish of Landrygarn near Trefor. The Roberts family or heirs
lived on this farm the last half of the 1800's. Henry Roberts would have
been my G-Grandfather.

I am looking for a Williams family in Llanddulas, Denbigh and a Jones
family in Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire.
According to the IGI, a John Williams was born in 1822 in Llanddulas ,
Denbighshire--father John and mother Mary.
According to the free BMD website, a John Williams married a Mary Jones
in Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire in March 1851 (recorded). I think these
John Williams are one and the same.
In May 1852, a seaman John Williams and wife Mary Jones had a daughter
(Mary Jane Williams, my great grandmother) in Liverpool. By 1861 Mary
Jones Williams as died and apparently John and his little daughter moved
to Amlwch, Anglesey, where John Williams remarried, to a Mary Griffith
(b.abt. 1827, Amlwch). John Williams died in March 1879 when his ship
was lost at sea (between the 1871 and 1881 census reports). By 1881 Mary
(Griffith)Williams was a widow living in Amlwch with the children of John
Williams (John G., William, and Thomas R.).
There is a Master John Williams who was captain of the schooner "Rose
Schneider", owned by James Fisher of Barrow and lost on 28th August
1879. He had also been the Captain of several other ships of the Fisher
fleet. This Capt. John Williams was also born in 1822, Llandulas,
Denbighshire, and probably my John Williams.
1880: The will of John Williams, late of Amlwch in the County of
Anglesea, Master Mariner, who died on or since 22nd March 1879 at sea,
was proved at the Principal Registry by Mary Williams of Amlwch, Widow,
the relict, one of the executors. Other executors were Robert Jones of
Amlwch, Ship Owner, and Owen Owen of Amlwch, Flour Dealer; it is possible
that Robert Jones was in some way related to the first wife Mary Jones of
Llanfyllin.
This will suggests another marriage for John Williams around 1857,
possibly in Liverpool, and a son named James Williams was born of that
marriage. I do not know the name of the mother of James Williams, but as
an adult he may have lived in Liverpool, West Derby.
Thus, I am looking for the families of the John Williams and Mary Jones
of the 1851 marriage..--his family from Llandulas and hers from
Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire, with possible ties to the Jones of Amlwch,
Anglesey. The ships of John Williams were never homeported in Amlwch and
yet he took his family there to live while away at sea, suggesting some
tie to Amlwch.

Hello,
I have these details of this marriage that took place at Anglesey, I thought some might find it interesting.
Here are the details of the marriage of Lewis Owen WILLIAMS and Mary Ann GARTSIDE.
The Ashton-u-Lyne Reporter - 2nd June 1888.
Marriage of Miss GARTSIDE of Glyn Garth.
On Thursday afternoon last a remarkably pretty although somewhat quiet wedding was solemnised at the picturesque church of Llanfaes, distant about a mile and a half from the charming town of Beaumaris. The contracting parties were Mr Lewis Owen WILLIAMS of the 11th Hussars, Trefeilir, Anglesey, son of Mr Griffiths WILLIAMS, High Sheriff of Merionethshire, and Miss GARTSIDE, eldest daughter of Mr John Henry GARTSIDE, of Glyn Garth, Anglesey, a gentleman who is held in high esteem in the county in which he has taken up his residence. It was evident that the event was one in which considerable interest was evinced, for on all sides there were flags and mottoes and symbols of rejoicing. Crossing the Menai Straits by the Garth Ferry, and arriving on the Anglesey side, one's eyes at once attracted by the number of flags which Mr Thomas MORGAN displayed, whilst one could not help being made acquainted with the great noise which was created by the "Admiral's" brass cannon. Ascending!
the hill, and passing along the main road, there was to be seen a further display of bunting, whilst in the town of Beaumaris innumerable flags were displayed by Miss WILLIAMS, of the Bulkeley Arms Hotel, Mr T PRITCHARD, Messrs. WILLIAMS and HUGHES, Mr THOMAS, the chemist, etc.. The "Bonnie Princess" steamer, which passed by the Straits at the time of the ceremony, was also gay with flags. The interior of Llanfaes Church had been decorated with admirable taste by the gardeners of Glyn Garth, assisted by several ladies. The chief decorations were composed of white silk, and beautiful flowers and wreaths. The Lord Bishop of the diocese (Dr. CAMPBELL), assisted by the Rev. T. Warren TREVOR, M.A., officiated. The bride, who wore an ivory white satin duchesse dress, trimmed with beautiful old lace, festooned with orange blossoms, a tulle veil fastened by a diamond star, the gift of her mother, entered the Church leaning on the arm of her father, who gave her away. She carried a !
beautiful bouquet, to which were attached the bridegroom's racing colours. The bridesmaids were four in number, viz, Miss Beatrice GARTSIDE, Miss Gertrude GARTSIDE, Miss Evelyn GARTSIDE (sisters], and Miss Cecilie Sackville WEST. They were dressed in ivory crepe de chene trimmed with valenciennes lace, gold embroidered vests, and cream felt hats, trimmed with cream ribbon bows, and osprey. They carried bouquets of apple blossom. Each of the bridesmaids wore gold sword brooches, the gift of the bridegroom. The bride's train was borne by Master Lennard BOLDEN, son of Mr BOLDEN, and godson of Mr GARTSIDE, the father of the bride. he wore a suit of brown velvet, trimmed with gold buttons, cream satin vest, point lace collar and cuffs. The bridegroom's best man was Captain PALMER. The first marriage service was performed in the aisle of the church, after which the wedding party proceeded to the alter, and after completing the ceremony, they, according to the custom of the parish,!
signed the register in the centre of the sacred edifice. The hymn, "The voice that breathed o'er Eden", was effectively sung. Carpets were laid from the entrance gates to the church; and as the happy pair left the church, Mr Owen PRITCHARD, the organist, played a wedding march, whilst the children of the head gardener at Glyn Garth and other children strewed their path with flowers. During the day the beautiful bells at Llanfaes pealed forth merrily. The church was crowded, and besides the immediate relatives of the bride and bridegroom, who were at the church, we noticed The Very Rev. the Dean of Bangor; Mrs and Miss LEWIS; Col. and Mrs HAMPTON-LEWIS; Col. and Miss THOMAS; Col. and Mrs LONGMAN; Mrs ASSHETON-SMITH; Captain Robert WILLIAMS; Mrs and Miss TREVOR; Mr and Miss MASSEY; Captain and Miss JOHNSTON; Major GALBRAITH; Major DWYER; Mrs Rice ROBERTS; Mr and Mrs F SCHWABE; Mr and Mrs MASON; the officers of the Royal Anglesey Engineers, etc., etc..
The bridal pair drove from Llanfaes via Henllys, and through Baron Hill Park, and thence to Glyn Garth, where light refreshments were served. The cake was supplied by Messrs. BOLLAND of Chester. Shortly after four o'clock Mr and Mrs Lewis Owen WILLIAMS took their departure for Llanrwst, preliminary to a tour through Wales and Scotland. As they took their seats in the carriage, they were ill-used by their friends in the orthodox manner, who showered an abundant supply of rice and old slippers upon them.
During the day numerous congratulatory telegrams were received at Glyn Garth.
There was then a list of names and gifts but it is rather long, but if anyone is interested I can send it.
Regards,
Alison.
Hello John,
My great-great-great grandfather was Richard Hughes, listed as age 45 in the
1851 Llanbadrig census. Would he have been another brother to the John and
Owen you mention below?

Hi. I have recently returned from vacation on Anglesey. Prior to my
going I communicated with a gentleman about an Owen Hughes (christened
1813 Bodedern) son of Richard and Margaret. While I was away I have a
computer problem and have lost all my saved e-mail. I would appreciate
if the person in question would please get in touch. Thanks

Lynda,
There is a Llanfyllin located in Montgomershire. My Mary Jones was
married there to John Williams in 1851. I found it by searching at
www.multimap.co.uk.

Subject: [ANG] Hugh THOMAS-need help in what direction to go in
now.......
Hi, I recently discovered that my bloodline was THOMAS instead of
HUGHES......and now am wondering if anyone could steer me in the right
direction. I have my Gr-Gr- Grandfather, Hugh THOMAS being born abt. 1815
or
even as late as 1823......depending on accuracy of data in some records.
His
place of birth , Llanfyllin, on one record in the Family History Center
and
yet on the 1881 Census and also the 1861 Census of microfilm at the
Center
it said Ceirchiog- could that be the district or the parish? He married
Elizabeth GRIFFITH now she was born abt. 1820 in Aberfraw.......in the
area
of Llangadwaladr. Could anyone tell me please how I could go back further
now and see if I can find some proof of all this? I am in the USA and
have
looked through microfilms at the Family Research Center and now really
don't
know where to turn for anymore information. I realize that perhaps ,
there
is none, since my Hugh THOMAS from all appearances were poor folks living
off the land and farming it for others. Not sure if there is a record of
his
Baptism or Birth, since records were hit and miss back then. I realize
that
many ask for look-ups here, right now I would be happy with some sense of
how to go about searching further back. Thanks again to all for all of
your
help through the years on this list.
Lynda
