I have just been re-reading a message I received in January, of correspondence between
Bonnie Henderson and Stanley Wrigley and some very familiar names, but not places or dates
jumped out at me. I'll explain.
My husband's great-grandmother was Ellen JONES (1838-1891) from Brynsiencyn, Llanidan,
Anglesey and in 1861 she married John WILLIAMS (c 1837-1868) also from Bryn, in Llanidan
Parish Church. They were both buried there although having lived their married life in
Liverpool. I don't know anything about John except that from their Marriage
Certificate he was a Joiner and that his father was also John a Labourer.
John and Ellen had three children John H (c 1863-); Francis P (c 1866-) and Mary Ellen
(1868-1946) Mary Ellen was my husband's great-grandmother. Mary Ellen was certainly
born in Liverpool, but I'm not sure of the other two. I guess that the 'H' in
John H was Henry, because Henry Williams was one of the witnesses on John and Ellen's
Marriage Certificate.
I'm sending this to the List and not just to Bonnie because it may ring a bell with
someone else.
