Does anyone recognize the following WILLIAMS family from several census
reports?
The missing mariner at sea is JOHN WILLIAMS and this is his second wife.
I am looking for his first wife's name as she was the mother of my
ggrandmother MARY JANE WILLIAMS (b. May 1852); apparently her mother has
died by the 1861 census and John Williams has re-married a MARY
(GRIFFITH). I suspect that the first wife might also have been a Mary or
an Anne.
1861 Amlwch Census Report
"Waterman's Arms" (house/inn/public house?--no indication of which at
that time)
Lower Quay St.
WILLIAMS, MARY - wife, married, age 34 (so b. 1827-8), Master Mariner's
Wife, born in Amlwch (Mary Williams is later identified as
formerly a GRIFFITH)
WILLIAMS, MARY JANE - daughter, age 8 (so b. 1852-3), scholar, b. Amlwch
GRIFFITH, CATHERINE - Servant, Unm'd, age 22, house servant, b. Amlwch
1871 Amlwch Census Report
Chapel St. (no house number given)
WILLIAMS, MARY - age 44 (b.1827-8), Master Mariner's Wife, b. Amlwch
WILLIAMS, JOHN G. - son age 7, b. Amlwch (b.1864 when mother 37)
WILLIAMS, WILLIAM - son age 5, b. Amlwch (b.1866 when mother 39)
WILLIAMS, THOMAS R. - son age 2, b. Amlwch (b.1869 when mother 42)
(*Mary Jane Williams is not living at home--employed or school? Would be
19 yrs old)
(*I had found a MARY WILLIAMS - age 18 - general servant to ROBERT
ROBERTS living in Llaneilian [near Amlwch, I think] - next door is a JANE
WILLIAMS, age 80 pauper. This may or may not be our Mary Jane Williams,
who seems to have used "Mary Jane" consistently) My MARY JANE WILLIAMS
married in 1874 to GEORGE MORGAN HUGHES of Amlwch, Ang.
1881 Amlwch Census Report
20 Llaneilian Rd., Amlwch
WILLIAMS, MARY - age 53 - widow head of household - b. Amlwch
WILLIAMS, WILLIAM - son age 14 - joiner - b. Amlwch
WILLIAMS, THOMAS R. - son age 12 - scholar - b. Amlwch
GRIFFITH, EVAN - brother age 55 - unm'd - sailor - b. Amlwch
(Thus GRIFFITH is probably the maiden name of MARY WILLIAMS)
It appears that husband (John Williams) had died between 1871 and 1881)
The following folio 430 from the 1851 Amlwch census MAY be connected to
the Williams family I am searching for, but there are an awful lot of
John Williams who were mariners/master mariners..
Folio 430 - WILLIAMS
John - 51 mariner, b. Amlwch
Ann - 45 - wife, b. Amlwch
John - 27 mariner, b. Amlwch (b.1824)
Mary - 27 wife, b.. Amlwch (b.1824)
Thomas - 19, mariner - b.Amlwch
Mary - 81 widow, b. Anglesey
Evan - 12 , b. Amlwch
George - 8, b. Amlwch
Hugh - 10, b. Amlwch
John, 5, b. LIVERPOOL
Richard - 1 mo. b. Amlwch
