Does anyone know of a Mary Jones b. 1830 in Anglesey, married 1851 in
Llanfyllin?
I am looking for a JONES family in Llanfyllin in 1851, possibly there
also in 1841, father perhaps a seaman. Mary Jones was b. Anglesey, but
other children may also have been born on Anglesey before the move to
Llanfyllin. Unfortunately I do not know the name of Mary Jones parents
but hope to connect to another Jones family in Llanfyllin.
In 1851 census (Liverpool), Mary Jones (now Mrs. John Williams) said
that she was born in 1830 in Anglesey. According to the free BMD
website, a John Williams married a Mary Jones in Llanfyllin,
Montgomeryshire in March 1851 (recorded). I think these John Williams
are one and the same and that his wife Mary Jones came originally from
Anglesey. Their only child was named Mary Jane--John Williams' mother
was a Mary and perhaps Jane was the name of the wife's mother.
In May 1852, a seaman John Williams and wife Mary Jones had a daughter
(Mary Jane Williams, my great grandmother) in Liverpool. By 1861 Mary
Jones Williams as died and apparently John and his little daughter moved
to Amlwch, Anglesey, where John Williams remarried, to a Mary Griffith
(b.abt. 1827, Amlwch). John Williams died in March 1879 when his ship
was lost at sea (between the 1871 and 1881 census reports). By 1881 Mary
(Griffith)Williams was a widow living in Amlwch with the children of John
Williams (John G., William, and Thomas R.).
