Wonderful information, thank you so very much! I will check further into the
census' when I return from work this evening. I do have Richard Thomas with
wife Elizabeth in 1901 living at Pentre Garrog Fawr (is that the spelling?)
with another child it seems, daughter Maggie aged 21. Not sure where she
came in as she wasn't mentioned on previous census in 1891. Also in 1901 at
Pentre Garrog Bach there is a new Jones family, Henry Jones a stone mason
aged 37 from Holywell with wife Elizabeth aged 39 from Caernarvonshire. Is
this just a coincidence or are these family members also.

A book "The Welsh Builders on Merseyside" was published 1945 - large
housing developments in Liverpool were in the hands of Welsh builders at
one time, especially Anglesey builders. There is no mention of your Ed
Williams but the following will be of interest to you.
_Richard, William and Owen Thomas.
_ Three brothers who came from Bryn Llan, Llan M E. In 1900 under the
style of Thomas Brothers they built houses in Seaforth, Litherland and
Aintree. Directly after the South African War Richard emigrated to Cape
Town for a period and died shortly after his return to this country.
Owen and William about the same time emigrated to Canada or the USA.
