I am Joyce Palmer currently living about 50 miles from Salt Lake City, Utah. My father was
born in Brynsiencyn, Llanidan, Anglesey. If anyone thinks they may have connections to any
of his ancestors listed below, I can provide further details.
William WILLIAMS (1850-1942) of Brynsiencyn. Son of Hugh WILLIAMS and Elinor JONES. In
1877 William married Ann EVANS (abt 1850-1899) of Brynsiencyn. Ann was the daughter of
Joseph EVANS (abt 1803-1863) and Mary JONES (abt 1808-1879) of Llangeiniwen, Anglesey.
William worked at the Dinorwic Slate Quarry. He and Ann had four children and lived for
about 40 years at Arddwenyn, Brynsiencyn.
Hugh WILLIAMS (abt 1829-1897) of Brynsiencyn. Son of Richard HUGHES (abt 1797). In 1848
Hugh married Elinor JONES (1829-1894) of Llanidan. Elinor was the daughter of Owen JONES
(abt 1785-1843) and Elizabeth JONES both of Llandegfan, Anglesey. Hugh worked at a
limestone quarry and he and Elinor had nine children and lived in Arddwenyn and
Ty-gwyn-glan-y-mor, Llanidan. I am looking for information about the birth and parents of
Hugh.
Owen JONES (abt 1785-1843) of Llanidan, Anglesey. Parents unknown. In 1824 Owen married
Elizabeth JONES (abt 1788-1875) of Llandegfan, Anglesey (parents unknown). Owen and
Elizabeth had at least eight children and lived at Rhos fawr, Llanidan. I am looking for
the birth and parents of both Owen and Elizabeth.
Joseph EVANS (abt 1803-1863) of Llangeiniwen, Anglesey (parents unknown). In 1830 married
Mary JONES also of Llangeiniwen (parents unknown). Joseph and Mary had seven children and
lived in Rhos fawr, Llanidan, and the last twenty or more years at Ty'n Ardd,
Brynsiencyn. I am looking for birth and parents of both Joseph and Mary.
I also have connections to the following:
William OWEN (1838-1907) of Brynsiencyn. Son of John Owen (1809-1886) of Llangaffo and
Catherine JONES (abt 1796-1875) of Llanbeblig, Caernarvon. In 1861 William married Jane
HUGHES (1835-1914) of Llanfaglan, Caernarvon. Jane was the daughter of John HUGHES
(1785-1855) and Jane PARRY (1804-1888). William worked as a slater and the family lived at
Llain Delyn and Tai Cae in Brynsiencyn.
John OWEN (1809-1886) of Llangaffo, Anglesey. Son of William and Jane Owen of Llangaffo.
About 1830 married Catherine JONES (abt 1796-1875) of Llanbeblig, Caernarfon. John and
Catherine had three children and lived in Brynsiencyn, Llanidan. I am looking for birth
and parents of Catherine.
