Married in Capel Pendre, Llanfyllin, according to the rites and

Registrar
John Williams signed X
Mary Jones signed
Witnesses: Robert Jones signed X; Mary Morgan signed X
My John Williams (about right age) was a seaman/master mariner, father
probably John Williams, also a seaman and grocer
My Mary Jones would have been only 20-21 years of age (b. Anglesey
according to 1851 Liverpool census)
The Registrar can't have sent me the wrong certificate since there was
only one Williams-Jones marriage in 1851.
Now I only know they were married somewhere before the 1851 Liverpool
census.
1851 Liverpool Census.
John Williams, 28, master mariner, Llanddulas, Denbighshire (b.1823)
Mary, 21, wife, Anglesey (b.1830)
Elizabeth, sister to head of house, 15, scholar, Denbigh.
John & Mary had a child in May 1852 in Liverpool--my ggrandmother MARY
JANE WILLIAMS; I have the correct birth certificate for her. Mary Jones
Williams died shortly after the birth of her daughter. The family later
moved to Amlwch, Anglesey, where Capt. John Williams remarried--to Mary
Griffith (b.abt. 1827, Amlwch)and had sons-- John G., William, and
Thomas R. Williams. Capt. John Williams died at sea in 1879. In his
will he named another son, James Williams , but I don't know his
mother's name, whether Mary Jones or another wife right after Mary Jones
and before Mary Griffith..
