Does anyone have the 1861 census of Llanddulas, Denbighshire? Or better
yet, does anyone tie in to this Williams family. John Williams may have
been a master mariner earlier in his life and retired to become a grocer.
1851 Llanddulas, Tai'n y Wall
John Williams, Head, Mar, 55, Grocer, born Abergele
Mary Williams, Wife, 54, born Abergele
Mary Williams, Daur, U, 22, Grocer's Assistant, born Abergele
Williams Williams, Son, U, 13, Scholar, born Abergele
The ages all tie up to the birthplace of their son (John Williams master
mariner, b. 1822 Llanddulas) )and I wonder whether Abergele is given as
the birthplace
because Llanddulas is near Abergele, but it seems a bit odd.
1861 Census records for Llanddulas missing
1871 Llanddulas, Moranedd
John Williams, Head, Mar, 75, Retired grocer, born Abergele
Mary Williams, Wife, Mar, 63 (a mistake?) born Denbighshire, St George's
It seems from the census that St George's is the next parish so maybe
that
is where they were married.
I can't find them in 1881 so they may be dead by then.
