Hello fellow listers,
I have recently found out that a family I am researching came from
Llanrhyddlad as follows:
Hugh Williams b.1843 in Llanrhyddlad married Jane Thomas b.1843 Llanfechell.
Children:
Jane b. 1865 (did not marry)
Mary b. 1868
Catherine b. 1870 married William Davies (Blacksmith in Llanrhyddlad),
children:
Elizabeth Jane (Leis) 1891
Hugh 1892
Jane 1894
Catherine
Dora
William John
I have them on all census from 1871 - 1901 and have ordered the 1851 and
1861 census.
Hugh and Jane moved from Llanryddlad (farm named Tyddyndon) before 1901 to
Llanfaethlu (farm named Ysgybor Hir),
It's the WHY, I'm chasing after!!!
Previous occupants of Ysgybor Hir (which still exists today) were:
Shadrach(k) Thomas, b Llanrhyddlad and wife Mary Pritchard, b.1840
Llanfaethlu.
I am trying to connect these two families....If I still have you reading and
interested...I am wondering if the Jane Thomas b. 1865 (in first paragraph)
is a sister of Shadrach Thomas b.1838. Nothing on IGI.
Anyone have these families on a branch of their tree?
