Dear List
Family History leads me to a greatgrandfather who was called William Sion, Pandy Hen,
Llanllyfni. This William Sion ( William Jones ) was prominent in the founding of Methodism
at Llanllyfni ( Salem MC ). I have researched the family at Caernarfon Archives and found
William married Elizabeth Rowland in 1765.Both were 'of this parish' Children that
I have found are
Catherine William b 1767
Elizabeth William b 1770
Jane William b 1772 ( who married Rowland Morris both of whom are subject of a previous
mail of mine concerning Tany graig Deiniolen.)
John William b 1774 ( known as Sion William and also a prominent methodist at Salem MC )
Books refer to him as William Sion Pandy Hen but the parish register shows various
addresses for the birth i.e Ty yn y llock (sic), Buarth Fotty, and Corn Croes.
Does anyone know of the family?
Does anyone know Llanllyfni Parish that can point me towards these addresses and whether
Pandy Hen was an 'area' name or a dwelling.
