Hi, Tina:
Thank you so much for your kind offer to look up some things in Llandudno when you are
there in the spring. I have Owen/s in the parishes of Llandudno and Llan Rhos (Eglwys
Rhos). I donít know if the Llandudno Library has records for Llan Rhos. All of these
folks are connected with the
smallholding called Pant-y-Ffynnon. Here they are:
Catherine Owen, d/o Robert and Mary Holland Owen of Llandudno, bapt. Nov. 16 1786 in Llan
Rhos. Nothing further known.
Margaret Owen, d/o Robert and Mary bapt. March 24, 1788 in Llan Rhos. Married William
Williams March 20, 1813. 2 children: Robert Williams, bapt. June 27 1813 and Jane,
bapt. June 27, 1815.
William Owen, s/o Robert and Mary, bapt. April 5, 1790 in Llan Rhos. Nothing further.
Edward Owen, s/o Robert and Mary, bapt. August 19, 1792. Edward married Mary ??? and
had 2 children: Robert, bapt. May 17, 1818 in Llan Rhos & Mary-Anna, bapt.November
29, 1829. At Robertís birth they were at Pant-y-Ffynnon; at Mary-Annaís they wereìof
Llangwstenin.î
Jane Owen, d/o Robert and Mary, bapt. March 4, 1794. Nothing further known.
Mariana Owen, d/o Robert and Mary bapt. April 12, 1797. Mariana married William
Roberts and had 11 children (!), one of whom was my great-grandfather, John, and the
next to the youngest was Dorothy. Dorothy is a mystery.
Dorothy Roberts, d/o Mariana and William Roberts, baptised May 19, 1839 in Llandudno.
In 1841 she is 2; in 1851 she should be 12, but there is no sign of her. I think she
may
have died but know nothing further. In 1851 there is, instead, a Dorothy aged 4 or 6
described as ìniece.î In 1861 there is 12 year old Dorothy described as granddaughter.
Any information at all will be appreciated. Thanks!
