I also have a Williams family in my husband's family tree, doesn't everyone!
It seems my husband's great aunt Mary Anne Rees Short b. 1846 remarried to
David Williams b. 1834 in Briton Ferry on December 24, 1882. David was
also a widower and had children, some of which are William Williams, David L
Williams, Margaret Williams, Lewis Williams. His first wife was named Mary
and she had a sister Cathren.
Mary Anne and David had more children. William Williams, ( so I am assuming
the first William died) Leyshon Williams and Philemon Williams. I have
looked a the census for 1881, 1891 and 1901. I was able to find that
Philemon Williams married Mary Catherine Jarvis in Sept, 1908 at the
Wesleyan Chapel, London Road, Neath. He died in November 1958.
David Williams father was Lewis (also a pilot) and David was a pilot on the
river ending up as a Trinity House Pilot. He died between 1891 and 1901.
Any thoughts on these Williams.
Does anyone know any more about this Williams family? I would like to find
out when David died and where.
Thank you
Barb
