JOHN WILLIAMS was a master mariner whose family lived in Amlwch, ANG, in
the 1861, 1871, & 1881 census reports. John himself died between the
1871 and 1881 census reports, perhaps lost at sea in 1874 as master of
the brig Truant. I don't know his exact age or place of birth, except
somewhere in Wales.
His first wife was MARY JONES and she died shortly after 3 May 1852, the
date of birth of her daughter MARY JANE WILLIAMS (1852-1905Liverpool);
this birth was in 8 Court, Edmund St., Liverpool. By the 1861 census the
family was living in Amlwch, ANG and John had remarried a MARY GRIFFITH
(b.1827-28), and she and John had other children: John G., William,
Thomas R. Williams. It is possible that there was a third wife named
Mary between 1861-1881, but I can't pin this down.
These are the known children of JOHN WILLIAMS:
MARY JANE WILLIAMS - b. 1852 Liverpool; m. G. M. HUGHES 1874
JOHN G.WILLIAMS - b. 1864 Amlwch - became a seaman (?)
WILLIAM WILLIAMS- B. 1865 Amlwch (became a joiner)
THOMAS R. WILLIAMS - b. 1869 Amlwch.
In the 1861 census, they lived at "Watermans Arms", Lower Quay St.,
Amlwch
In the 1871 census, they lived in Chapel St. (no house number), Amlwch
In the 1881 census, they lived at 20 Llaneilian Rd., Amlwch with MARY's
brother EVAN GRIFFITH (age 55, unmarried, sailor, b. Amlwch). John
Williams had died by now, but his son John G. Williams is also not in
that residence, perhaps at sea or married.
I would love to contact people researching this family.
