Subject: [GWYNEDD] Griffith at Dinas Incline
In researching my husband's family I found his great great
grandfather
William Griffith (b. 1796 in Holyhead) was listed in the 1851, 1861, 1871,
and 1881 census for Llandegai, Carnarvonshire with his occupation in later
census as being manager of Incline Dinas. From census records he and his
wife Jane (b. 1804, Llangefni, Anglesea) had at least 7 children with the
oldest. Mary, being born in Anglesea. The rest born in Llandegai. The
children are Mary, William, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Robert, Catherine, and
Griffith. Charlotte married a Roberts and lived in Llanllechid,
Caernarvonshire.
Son William emigrated to the United States around 1860 to Poultney,
Vermont and was involved in the slate industry there. He went back to
Wales to marry Catherine Williams in 1865 then they both returned to
Vermont.
Daughter Catherine emigrated to Vermont in 1867. She married a William
Evans sometime before 1872 but I don't know if she married before she
emigrated or not. She is my husband's great grandmother.
Is there anyone researching this family with whom I could connect? I
believe other family members did stay in Wales as we have pictures (no
names) of people that were photographed by photographers in Bangor.
My other request is for information and hopefully pictures of the Dinas
incline. The census indicated the home of the Griffith family was listed
as being Penisarallt which I believe means incline at the bottom. Was
Dinas a separate town/village as other house listings on census records
have Dinas as part of their house name?
Any help is very much appreciated.
