Subject: Williams of Traffwll, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn
I would be most grateful for any information about the Williams family of Traffwll.
While there is a pedigree for Traffwll in the Pedigrees of Anglesey and Caernarfonshire
Families, I have not been able to link my Williams family to it (if there is a
connection).
I have a William Williams born in 1757, who in 1778 married a Catherine Griffith at
Llechylched, the daughter of a Griffith Jones and Ellin. This William Williams was still
living at Traffwll in 1841.
Their son William, born 1787, married Catherine Jones, the daughter of Griffith Jones
and Anne Owen at Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn in 1817.
In 1827 their daughter Mary was born, but I have not found her christening in the
Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn parish register. Was she christened at a nonconformist chapel? Or
perhaps in another parish?
