There are a lot of Pugh's in Marcy!!!
Firstly a couple of questions:
- Where did you get the link to Dolgellau?
- Where did you get the surname Williams for Winifred?
According to the 1860 US census only Ann was the only child born in Wales (around 1848),
Ellen and all of the other children were born in New York state.
I think this has to be their arrival:
28 Apr 1851 on board the "Niagara", out of Liverpool
Richard PEW, 25, Merionethshire
Mrs PEW, 25, Merionethshire
Anne PEW, 2, Merionethshire
there is also a
Hugh PEW, 22, Merionethshire
if you believe that Richard's brother accompanied them, this may be him??? There were
a lot of people from Merionethshire on the ship.
The 1851 census took place on 30 March 1851 (a month before they sailed) but I haven't
found them on it!
