who should I write to for this please
Dear Sirs, I wrote some time ago for any info. re the Davies family My
grandparents REv. John Davies and Margaret were, from what I can gather,
in the parish of St. Marys. My father was Elfyn John Davies who later
changed his name to Weston-Davies when he married my Mom Gladys Edwina
Weston - Both my maternal grandfather EJ Weston and my maternal uncle
Lionel Weston were buried in Dolgellau as well.

Subject: [GWYNEDD] "Hydro" Trefriw (cross posting)
The one part of my children's family tree with which I can make no
headway is
their maternal grandmother's line (my late mother in law)
The reason for my difficulty is that my mother in law was
illegitimate, and
her family are like clams in giving out information, because of this.
When I
tell them that I know about her illegitimacy and can give an educated
guess
about the probable father, they close up even more - rather than
accept that
the "cat is out of the bag" and that I WILL find out the truth
eventually.
My mother in law, Mair Eluned Williams was born in Llanrwst in 1921,
her
mother is recorded as Lizzy Williams (so possibly recorded as
Elizabeth in
other documents) Lizzy had a second child John from the same father,
before
going on to have a further three illegitimate children by David
Roberts of
Rhos Fraith Farm Cerrig y Drudion, who she eventually married some
time
between 1925 and 1933.
>From snippets of information I have had from outside the family I
understand
that Lizzy's parents lived at a place that *sounds like* HYDRO in
Trefriw. As
far as I know there is nowhere in Trefriw called HYDRO, so, could any
lister
familiar with the village give me a clue as to what the actual name of
the
place was.
If I am unable to find a young Lizzy there in the 1901 Census, I may
be able
to find a Williams family there who might be her parents, which would
give me
a starting point for getting to grips with this most elusive line.
Regards
Alwyn
