1) Colin Smith living in Basingstoke, Hampshire
2) My GtGrandfather Robert Williams b. 1843 Tyn y Wern, Llangar, father William Williams,
farmer, mother Margaret Roberts. Married a Mary Williams (dau of John Williams) 1863 at
Llanenddwyn. I believe the Williams family lived at the Salem Chapel house (nr Druid, nr
Cynwyd) for most if not all the 1800's, they were involved with the chapel and some
were shoemakers, some are buried at the old Llangar cemetary.
Grandmother Mary Ellen Williams, dau of Robert and Mary, b. 1874 Ty'n Fforddfawr,
Llanfihangel, married Charles Waple 1898 at Soar Wesleyan Chapel, Talsarnau.
Robert and Mary Williams lived at Soar from 1876, firstly in Dolorcan and then Tan y
Marion where they both died, Robert in 1907 and Mary in 1917, they are both buried in the
Soar cemetary.
3) I am very interested to find someone else connected with either the family or the
family locations..and would love to hear from anyone with any relevant information.
