I know I am probably getting out line in posting an earlier stats, but since I had both
their deaths and their marriage, I thought it should be noted also.

Ellis Williams, age 26, Batchelor, Slate Miner of Cae'rffynon, Penrhyndeudraeth.
Father John Williams, Slate Miner. (Would Cae'rffynon be the name of his dwelling?)
Kate Evans, age 23, Spinster, no occupation, of Gwyndy, Llanfrothen. Father Robert
Evans, Farmer.
Witnesses: William Ellis and Elizabeth Griffith. Daniel Humphreys, Registrar
Merry Xmas,
