A friend in Wales did the following look-up (census & BTs) for the
parents of my Master Mariner John Williams (b.Llanddulas 1822,wife Mary
Jones b. Anglesey). John himself would have been 18-9 yeas old and away
at sea, so he would not be shown with his parents. There is the strong
possibility that his father (John Williams also) would have been at sea
in 1841--John Sr.'s wife was named Mary also. This is probably the
family left in Llanddulas, Denbighshire. The 1851 Liverpool does
establish that the family had a daughter named Elizabeth (age 15 in
1851).
I wonder if anyone connects to these two families from Llanddulas, Denb.?
One of them represents the parental family of my Master Mariner John
Williams (b.1822, parents John and Mary Williams). I don't have the 1851
census.for Llanddulas.
1841, Tai'n y Llan, Llanddulas:
Mary Williams, 45
Jane Williams, 15, miliner's (sic) ass (i.e. assistant)
Mary Williams, 13
Elizabeth Williams, 6
William Williams, 3
(All born in county)
The baptisms of the other children in this family read as follows:
May 22nd 1825: Jane, daughter of John and Mary Williams of Tyn (sic) y
Wal,
Labourer [he might have later gone to sea]
June 8th 1830: Mary, daughter of John and Mary Williams, Llan (i.e.
Llanddulas), Labourer
September 29th 1837: William, son of John and Mary Williams, Tan y Wal,
Mariner
However, the 1841 census turns up an additional family, but not as likely
since there are no Edwards in my later family at all.
1841, Tai'n y Llan, Llanddulas (the same street)
Mary Williams, 45, Pauper
Ann Williams, 12
Edward Williams, 10
Edward Griffith, 15, Lodger
John Griffith, 8, Lodger
(All born in county)
These children tie up roughly with the following baptisms:
September 16th 1827: Ann, daughter of John and Mary Williams, Llan,
Labourer
July 25th 1830: Edward, son of John and Mary Williams, Llan, Labourer
