Hello List,
I have a Humphrey Thomas marrying a Jane Joines in Gwyddelwern Parish in 1780. Humphrey's parish of residence is given as Llanycil. I know nothing more about him, but he is rather important to my line. The couple ( and associated children) moved to Cynwyd/Llangar in the late 1790's. would appreciate a Llanycil look up for Humphrey Thomas i.e baptism (and anything else that comes to light!). Don't know anything else about him so can't help with dates, but I assume he would be of marrying age in 1780 (whatever that is or was!).

Hi all,
Could SKs have a look in the PR for the following:
Sydney Davies. She (yes SHE) was married to a Thomas Griffiths. The marriage took place in 1821 in Llanfawr. Sydney was living in Llanfawr at the time. I wonder if she was baptised there? Any chance of a trawl to see? I think she died in the early 1830's although this is surmise. There was certainly one child from the marriage: a Gwen Griffiths, born November 1829 & baptised in Bethel Rhydywernen Hananeel & Pensingrug Independent Chapel (Llandderferl, Llanfor & Llandrillo).
As ever in hope!
Graham.

Hello Kathy
Reading your e-mail re the Roberts family from Llandudno etc. made my think
that it was all very familiar and that I'd researched this before. I then
remembered having received an e-mail a long time ago from a cousin of
Gloria's so checked back to make sure and there it was. Please accept my
apologies for not having replied at the time - I must have been buried under
a mountain of paper as usual. I will certainly get back to you very soon -
at the moment we're preparing for the BBC's Look up Your Genes roadshow at
Porthmadog on Saturday (where we have a stand) as well as trying to put the
Society's journal together so that it can go out asap.
Hope Gloria is well - give her my regards.
To listers living near to Porthmadog - why not call in to the Leisure Centre
on Saturday. Its a great event with lots of interesting things going on
throughout the day. Look forward to seeing you.
Best regards
Yvonne

I am looking for a Williams family in Llanddulas, Denbigh and a Jones
family in Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire.
According to the IGI, a John Williams was born in 1822 in Llanddulas ,
Denbighshire--father John and mother Mary.
According to the free BMD website, a John Williams married a Mary Jones
in Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire in March 1851 (recorded). I think these
John Williams are one and the same.
In May 1852, a seaman John Williams and wife Mary Jones had a daughter
(Mary Jane Williams, my great grandmother) in Liverpool. By 1861 Mary
Jones Williams as died and apparently John and his little daughter moved
to Amlwch, Anglesey, where John Williams remarried, to a Mary Griffith
(b.abt. 1827, Amlwch). John Williams died in March 1879 when his ship
was lost at sea (between the 1871 and 1881 census reports). By 1881 Mary
(Griffith)Williams was a widow living in Amlwch with the children of John
Williams (John G., William, and Thomas R.).
There is a Master John Williams who was captain of the schooner "Rose
Schneider", owned by James Fisher of Barrow and lost on 28th August
1879. He had also been the Captain of several other ships of the Fisher
fleet. This Capt. John Williams was also born in 1822, Llandulas,
Denbighshire, and probably my John Williams.
1880: The will of John Williams, late of Amlwch in the County of
Anglesea, Master Mariner, who died on or since 22nd March 1879 at sea,
was proved at the Principal Registry by Mary Williams of Amlwch, Widow,
the relict, one of the executors. Other executors were Robert Jones of
Amlwch, Ship Owner, and Owen Owen of Amlwch, Flour Dealer; it is possible
that Robert Jones was in some way related to the first wife Mary Jones of
Llanfyllin.
This will suggests another marriage for John Williams around 1857,
possibly in Liverpool, and a son named James Williams was born of that
marriage. I do not know the name of the mother of James Williams, but as
an adult he may have lived in Liverpool, West Derby.
Thus, I am looking for the families of the John Williams and Mary Jones
of the 1851 marriage..--his family from Llandulas and hers from
Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire, with possible ties to the Jones of Amlwch,
Anglesey. The ships of John Williams were never homeported in Amlwch and
yet he took his family there to live while away at sea, suggesting some
tie to Amlwch.

The Carnarvon Traders website has of late become increasingly cluttered and untidy, and was due a face-lift. Consequently, over the last week or so I have been busy re-designing the site, and finally, after many late nights, it is finished. (Phew!!).
I have also taken the opportunity to move the site from the Rootsweb Freepages, mainly to be rid of the banner advertising. The new URL is:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wlsccaer/
There are also two new updates included, especially for the "Grand Opening". :-)
They are:
A biography of Daniel Owen - Watch & Clock Maker.
&
A display of Photographers' Advertising Cards.
I would welcome visitors to test the new layout and report any problems you may encounter.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiasco in North Wales.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THOUSANDS OF VISITORS
DISAPPOINTED.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snowdon Washout.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The eclipse in North Wales, and especially Caernarvonshire, was a fiasco,
rain and clouds in the majority of places blotting the spectacle from the
view of many thousands of visitors.
The much vaunted vantage points on mountain and hilltops were a complete
failure, particularly so on the summit of Snowdon and on Cader Idris, where
the cold was intensified by blinding rain, clammy mist, and biting wind.
Many visitors, including a number of children suffered from exposure at
these points.
Disappointment was deepest among the school children, thousands of whom had
travelled many miles by night. Tired, cold, and not a little fretful, the
only compensation for their weary vigil was the sudden deepening of the
gloom which heralded the period of totality, and this was gone almost as
quickly as it came. In few places was the sun visible, and where
observations were possible visibility only lasted a few minutes.
The eclipse was perfectly seen at Giggleswick. The crowds were struck dumb
by the sight of the corona glowing like a volcano, and cheered when the sun
reappeared.
SNOWDON AND LLANBERIS
"Up to Snowdon to see the eclipse!" was the remark made by the hundreds of
visitors who went to Llanberis on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning in
the hope of seeing the eclipse.
Hundreds of people from all parts of England and Wales made their way to
Llanberis on Tuesday, and throughout the day, especially in the evening,
traffic was very heavy. All the hotels and boarding houses were full of
visitors eager to go up Snowdon by foot and by train.
Extensive preparations had been made for the ascent of Snowdon, and the
Railway Company had arranged to run trains to the summit between half past
three and half past four on Wednesday morning. Many slept in huts at the
Snowdon Station, and many under canvas in fields close to the village.
However, the weather conditions were bad and consequently there were fewer
people on the mountain than there would have been had it been fine. The
railway ran some two hundred people comprising villagers and visitors. They
included a party of fifty-two boys from Lewes Grammar School, Sussex. A
large party braved the elements on foot, and when they reached the summit
they were drenched to the skin. The two wooden huts which constitute the
Summit Hotel were overcrowded, and some had to stay outside the whole time.
Many did not go beyond the half way. Others went to Clogwyn and Crib
Ddisgyl.
In the party that went up by the first train were Mr. Evan R. Davies, a
director of the Snowdon Tramroad Company, who had come specially from
London; and Mr J. R. Owen, the general manager of the company.
A well-known astronomer had suggested installing a wireless set on the
summit, and in last week's "Herald" we expressed the hope that a member of
the Caernarvon or Bangor Radio Societies would assist. Mr Thomas of Radio
House, Pool Street, Caernarvon, took a wireless set to Llanberis, and Mr
Owen, the general manager, gave him every assistance. A five valve portable
wireless set was fixed by Mr Thomas in the Summit Hotel, and he was able to
receive the signals which were transmitted from Daventry.
Mr. Owen, general manager, told our correspondent that it worked splendidly
and that Mr Thomas's services were much appreciated by the crowd present. He
is to be congratulated on carrying out the plan successfully.
The summit, however, was enveloped in fog, and nothing was seen except the
dark shadow: "Although everywhere was covered by fog," said Mr. Owens, "it
was a great sight to see the darkness coming gradually until the whole place
was absolutely black."
Another villager, who was on the summit, said, "The summit was covered with
mist, and some time before totality the mist was seen gradually to darken
and its colour became heliotrope. It was an awe-inspiring sensation to see
the mist becoming this colour, and I did not regret taking the long and
tiresome journey to the summit." He added that the place was completely dark
for some seconds and immediately after totality the mist suddenly changed
colour to very pale yellow.
Hundreds of people assembled at Dinas, a hill to the south-west of
Llanberis, but, although drenched to the skin, they saw nothing except the
darkness.
It is to be regretted that the morning was not clear, as there were experts
on the summit of Snowdon and their observations would have been of very
great value.
A correspondent writes: The receiver used by the officials of the Radio
Society of Great Britain, on Snowdon summit on Wednesday morning to receive
the London time signals was a Halcyon five-valve portable supplied by Mr
Thomas, Radio House, Pool Street, Caernarvon. For the purposes of the
particular tests to be carried out, accurate time signals were necessary.
The Daventry time signals were brought in on the loud speaker (no aerial or
earth being required with this type of receiver) and the tuning note was
also received on the journey up by train.
CAERNARVON.
The weeping heavens mocked the inhabitants on Wednesday morning. Still in
spite of the continuous and heavy downpour some hundreds of people ventured
out of doors hoping they would see something. Many went to the top of
Twthill and braved the elements on that elevation under the cover of
umbrellas. Others went to Penybryn Mawr, and not a few occupied a point of
vantage in Bethel road. But they saw neither the sun nor the moon, which
were completely hidden by dark clouds. So disappointed were the sky-gazers
that they had not got the heart to sing a little to while away the time till
the total eclipse took place. But though the rain clouds had blotted out the
heavens, every man, woman and child who were not asleep saw the great
darkness that fell upon the earth when the total eclipse was in progress.
The bad weather conditions intensified the darkness, which was weird and
awesome. Not a sound was heard; all life seemed still. The passing of the
dark shadow brought a sense of relief and the phenomenon just witnessed
served as a topic of conversation in the street and in the home for the rest
of the day.
On Tuesday evening about 50 boys from the Lewes Grammar School, accompanied
by the Rev. E. Griffith (headmaster) arrived in Caernarvon en route for
Snowdon. They were met at the railway station by Mr A. H. Richards (Deputy
Mayor) and Mr. R. O. Roberts (Town Clerk), who went with them to the Castle.
The boys left for Llanberis in the evening and went up Snowdon by train,
shortly after three o'clock on Wednesday morning. But, unfortunately, they
saw nothing.
LLANRUG.
A large crowd assembled on the hills above Bryn Bras Castle, and near
Glasgoed, and in other places to see the eclipse, but all they saw was a
dark shadow which soon disappeared.
DEINIOLEN.
Many villagers congregated on the hills near the village, on Moel Rhiwen,
and on Bigil, but they were disappointed as the sun was not visible. There
was a very large flock of birds near Ebenezer (C) Chapel, when totality
occurred. It is reported that many chickens died in the district during the
period of the eclipse.
NANTLLE VALE.
Local residents flocked to the hillsides early on Wednesday morning to see
the eclipse. The Nantlle Valley was within the shadow belt, and had the
weather been favourable, those who had climbed the hills, would have had a
clear view of the eclipse. But although rain was falling at the time, the
observers saw the awesome spectacle of the great elliptical shadow sweeping
along the valley at a terrific pace.
PWLLHELI.
Thousands of visitors went into the Lleyn district throughout Tuesday in
motor cars to take advantage of the Lleyn mountains, which were in the line
of totality, to view the eclipse.
In spite of an incessant downpour of rain the inhabitants of the town, old
and young, turned out between three and five o'clock in the morning and were
wet through. Almost everyone was provided with dark glasses, which of course
were of no use in such weather. Some hundreds of people braved the elements
and climbed to Pen-y-garn, Pen Cilan, the Rivals, Garn, Bodvean [sic.],
Mynytho, and Garn Fadryn. The majority, however, had congregated in shelters
on the promenade, and along the Cardiff Road, and the West End Parade. The
sun was hidden behind dark clouds, but, the total eclipse, which lasted
exactly 23 seconds, was a weird spectacle. The great shadow travelled
gradually over St. Tudwal's Islands in Cardigan Bay towards Beddgelert and
Snowdon. The crowds spent the hours of waiting singing and chatting, but
when the critical moment arrived there was a deep silence.
Four special trains and hundreds of motor cars brought visitors to the town
on Wednesday morning. Among them were pupils from the Newtown County School.
CRICCIETH.
Hundreds of students from North and South Wales came by special trains,
cars, and charabancs. Visitors altogether totalled over six thousand.
The official Astronomical observation station overlooked Cardigan Bay.
Clouds spoilt the view of the corona, but the sudden darkness was noticed
even through the clouds.
Mr. Lloyd George was at his home with Mrs. Lloyd George, Lady Carey Evans,
and Miss Megan Lloyd George.
LLANDUDNO.
The sun was blotted out by dense clouds, and realisation of the eclipse only
came to the watchers on the Great and Little Ormes with the sudden failure
of light during totality. The darkness intensified by the heavy cloud pall,
was weird, and as it passed there floated across the sky to the south-east a
curious light which threw up the Snowdonian range in distinct relief.
PORTMADOC
Despite heavy rain crowds congregated on Borthygest Hill and Maelygest,
overlooking Cardigan Bay, and commanding glorious views of Snowdonia.
CONWAY.
Conway was denied a close-up of the eclipse, but the sight of the Conway
valley light [sic.] up under the released rays of sunshine was inspiring.
BANGOR
A very ordinary wet morning with only a momentary deepening of the gloom was
the experience of visitors here.
PENMAENMAWR
Heavy rain continued almost to the time of totality. The dark and menacing
background of Snowdonia made the eclipse particularly awe-inspiring.
THE ECLIPSE
How marvellous, how great, O, how devine !
O, Great Creator, is this world of thine
When, sun and moon in splendour meet
Each compliment each pass face to face,
Eclipsed from earth their salutations greet,
For one brief moment in this world of space;
When glorious day is turn'd to night,
Twinkling stars peep forth like diamonds bright,
What mystery! - beyond the ken of man -
Is this ethereal world, Thy noble plan!
The birds they cease their song to trill
And Nature is subdued and still,
For all creation feels the strain -
Till gladsome light shines forth again,
Astronomers both great and small,
And all mankind wilt thou enthrall,
O Great Eclipse! What mysteries they cry,
I see hid in thy corona, as they fly
Like tongues of fire across the sky ?
Displaying Thy Creator's works on high.
Thy crowning glory, Lord, is man! -
Created for this world to share
Recipient of Thy love and care;
The moon and stars that shine by night
The morning sun that gives him light,
And ripens all the golden grain -
The fruits of earth - oh what a gain -
To speed him on to life again;
With body, soul and intellect complete -
There's naught in Thy creation can compete.
MAIR GWYNEDD.

Hi Arfor
Its nice to hear from you again, it seems you were right about Union Row being in the High Street.
I have have the death certificate of Charlotte Owen and waiting for Daniel's to turn up, Charlotte Died in Greenwich House High Street Criccieth (U.S.D not sure what that means at the end of the address). The Registration District was Pwllheli Union, Death in the Sub-District Criccieth. My mum said that her father always went to Chapel
whether that is of any help?
Thanks again for looking Arfor its much appreciated

Hi Lynda,
The church of the Holy Rood at CEIRCHIOG in north west Anglesey was closed
c.1843; only the foundations remain. CB registers from 1813 are in
LLECHYLCHED parish registers. It might also be worth looking at LLANBEULAN
parish registers.

Subject: [GWYNEDD] Hugh THOMAS-need help in what direction to go in
now.......
Hi, I recently discovered that my bloodline was THOMAS instead of
HUGHES......and now am wondering if anyone could steer me in the right
direction. I have my Gr-Gr- Grandfather, Hugh THOMAS being born abt. 1815 or
even as late as 1823......depending on accuracy of data in some records. His
place of birth , Llanfyllin, on one record in the Family History Center and
yet on the 1881 Census and also the 1861 Census of microfilm at the Center
it said Ceirchiog- could that be the district or the parish? He married
Elizabeth GRIFFITH now she was born abt. 1820 in Aberfraw.......in the area
of Llangadwaladr. Could anyone tell me please how I could go back further
now and see if I can find some proof of all this? I am in the USA and have
looked through microfilms at the Family Research Center and now really don't
know where to turn for anymore information. I realize that perhaps , there
is none, since my Hugh THOMAS from all appearances were poor folks living
off the land and farming it for others. Not sure if there is a record of his
Baptism or Birth, since records were hit and miss back then. I realize that
many ask for look-ups here, right now I would be happy with some sense of
how to go about searching further back. Thanks again to all for all of your
help through the years on this list.

Hi Andy,
There are three burial grounds in Criccieth, the Church, an old Baptist Chapel and the municipal burial ground. I have searched the MI's of these three and no sign of Daniel Owen or his wife Charlotte.
I have also searched several MI's of villages surrounding Criccieth but again to no avail but maybe they did not have a headstone.
Do you have a death certificate that would tell you where the death was registered?
I am sorry I cannot be of more help.
