. There is no doubt that I will have to go back to these old chaps,
tie them both up and interrogate them ruthlessly to drag out more
information
from them as between them I think they must know the history of
Wales!!
Keith when you have interrogated them ask them do they remember my family!!
Thomas John WILLIAMS and his wife Ethel (from Liverpool) and their six kids.
They must have lived there sometime in the 1930's as my dad was born in 1925
and went to school there before they all returned to Liverpool. The kids
were Richard, Thomas (my dad) and his twin John, Ronald, Brenda and Dilys.
The father worked in the slate quarries and was originally from Bethesda,
his family further back being from Llandegai. I remember going to Pen as a
kid and visiting Uncle Gwilym and Auntie Jane (very old and he was a
bellringer in the local church??).
Anybody any connection to this family??
Thomas John WILLIAMS (my grandfather as above) was born 22 Feb 1898 at 4
Bryn Owen Street, Bethesda to Robert WILLIAMS and Mary formerly OWENS.
Robert WILLIAMS (his father) was born 26 Feb 1864 at Cilgeraint Incline,
Coed y Parc, Llandegai to John WILLIAMS and Mary formerly JONES
