Hello David,
There are several references to PETERS families in Beaumaris and Amlwch:
a) Beaumaris churchyard, MI, William Peters, plumber and glazier, d. 4
March
1746/7 aged 59.
b) do. interior, brass to Wm. Peters 1746/7.
c) Peters, 'papist' [and master of a barque?] arrested at Beaumaris,
1647,
(Civil War).
This may be nothing to do with the local Peters families - but you never
know.
d) William Peters, plumber, paid for work on roof of Bangor Cathedral,
1744
and 1747.
e) 'Hopewell' of Amlwch, 16 tons, William PETTERS (sic) master, brought 2
casks of wine, tobacco, 20 fir planks and molasses from Liverpool, 1729.
f) Llandegfan churchyard, MI, Ann PETERS, d.23 April 1823, aged 91, wife
of
John RODGERS.
Although, the name Peters is not as common as say, Jones or Williams, it
is
not that rare in North Wales, so it doesn't always follow that the
various
families are inter-related.
Nadolig llawen - Happy Christmas.
David Price, Bangor.

Subject: [GWYNEDD] A Mystery in Gwynedd
Dear Listers
I'm new to this list having spent the past 3 years researching with great
success in Montgomeryshire. Now I find I have growing Gwynedd interests
and
gaps in my Welsh family history and I hope that I may find somebody with
a
common family interest.
For several years my kinsman and I have been searching for an ancestor of
ours who, to date, refuses to be found!
William PETERS our 4X Great Grandfather died 24 Jan 1823 at Bryneinin, a
farm near Darowen, Montgomeryshire where he and his wife had lived and
farmed since about the 1760s. His wife, Anne HARTLEY who was baptised at
Dolgellau on 15 July 1738 also died at Darowen on 4 Feb 1828. So far we
have
been unable to find their marriage. We know that all of their children
were
baptised at Darowen parish church; the first in 1768, but their marriage
cannot be found there. Study of a marriage index for Montgomeryshire
hasn't
revealed the marriage either. Is there such an index for the old counties
within Gwynedd?
Of even greater mystery is the birthplace or baptism place of William
PETERS. We have searched Montgomeryshire thoroughly without success. I
wonder is anyone else researching the Peters family in Gwynedd or does
anyone have any information that might lead to finding from whence they
came?
The only possible clue we have is that we know that there were Peters in
coastal shipping trade ref. being a book called "The Amity of
Aberdovey".
According to this they traded in both Towyn and Aberdovey, Merioneth,
Amlwch
and Beaumaris, Anglesey though whether the same family is not known for
certain. J E Griffiths Pedigrees at page 63 shows a Peters family in
these
areas and there is even a William who might be ours. However, there are
no
dates that we know in either this reference or from William's baptism
that
would assist with the connection.
Even if nobody has knowledge of the family I would appreciate ideas on
where
to find help.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Kind regards and season's greetings to all.
