I have collected the following information about William Williams' and
his descendants (mid 1800's to mid 1900's) of Anglesey and Bangor. Does
this family tree look familiar to anyone? I am interested in learning
about William's wife and their ancestors. All the best. Don Baker,
Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
William (Hugh?) Williams, farm labourer, married Ellen (Jones?) (who
died in 1922 or 23). Ellen or William is buried at Elim Chapel,
Llanddeusant. William may have lived in Ty Mawr before Llanddeusant.
Their seven children were raised in Llanddeusant until shortly after
Williams death. Ellen then moved family to Holyhead.
· Mary Williams (1869 August 12, 1928; buried at Holyhead) moved to
Liverpool and married James (Jim) Watt, a Scottish policeman. Raised
nephew, Cyril Williams, the youngest surviving son of William Williams
(II).
· Hugh Williams (1869 June 13, 1930; buried at Holyhead) married
Elizabeth (Betsie) Owen (1866 January 29, 1928 or 29; buried at
Holyhead). After serving at sea, Hugh became an Inspector and finally
Chief Constable of Anglesey. The family resided in Holyhead, Menai
Bridge and Llangefni. They had five children.
· Catherine (Kate, Kaddy) Williams (1878 March 4, 1946 or 44 or 45;
buried in Holyhead).
· John (Jack) Williams (May 6, 1875 October 18 or 19, 1956; buried in
Holyhead), a Baptist, married Ellen Jane James (December 17, 1890
probably in Bangor - March 11, 1958), a Wesleyan, on March 12, 1919.
Jack was employed by the LMS (as non-stop Irish Mail Engineer from 1920
onwards) from 1902 to 1944. Prior to joining the LMS, Jack worked
briefly: on a farm; as a pupil-teacher for a year at about age 16 and
went to sea for one voyage. Ellen Jane taught primary school at
Llandrygan until 1919 and played the organ at Wesleyan Chapel in Trefor,
Anglesey. They lived in Holyhead, first at Penial, Kingsland, then 52
London Rd. and finally 24 Holborn Rd. They had two daughters, Gwyneth
Mary and Margaret Eluned.
· Richard Williams (died about 1955) moved to Strangord Lough in 1933,
then Holywood, County Down and finally Belfast.
· Ellen (Nellie Fawr) Williams (died 1966) married Humphrey Hughes, who
owned a shoe repair business. They had one boy who died as a child.
Raised niece and two nephews, William Williams (II)s oldest surviving
children.
· William Williams (II) married Annie and lived on Gilbert St. They
had five children, one daughter and four younger boys. Father, mother
and baby all died of Spanish Flu in 1919.
