Hi Pam,
You can find the modern Gardd Llygad y Dydd on Google; I've had a
five-minute search in Griffith's Pedigrees, mentioned by Gadget, without finding
anything relevant. Gadget may do better. The book you need could, of course,
be another one.
Best of luck,
Pinot

Hi Pam,
The book you need is indeed T. Ceiri Griffith's book, entitled (in Welsh) The pedigrees of some families of the old counties of Caernarfonshire, Merionethshire and Montgomeryshire (Achau rhai o deuluoedd hen Siroedd Caernarfon, Meirionnydd a Threfaldwyn), published by the author 2003, ISBN 0 9546367 0 8.
Several lines from the Williams family of around 1800 have survived to the present age, with and without the original surname; if you wish I can send you details of a particular line or type up everything relevant; a scan is beyond me at the moment.
Cheers,
Pinot

Hi Pinot
I also have a Williams family which I have traced back to Griffith Williams born circa 1786 in Dolwyddelan who married an Ellinor Roberts from Llanrwst (first chil born around 1812) and wonder if by any chance this family is mentioned in the book. If it is I will of course purchase the book.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Pam,
Thomas, Jane's father, was one of the seven children of John Williams, Gardd Llygad y Dydd(married 7-2-1817 to Elizabeth, bapt 30-1-1791, dtr of Wm Williams, B.A. Oxon d.1834 and Jane, died 1815). John also one of seven children, was the son of William Parry, Gardd Llygad y Dydd, bapt. 4-9-1740, died 28-9-1827, married 1773 Jane Thomas, d.1803, dtr of Thomas ap Richard and Catherine. Wm Parry's will exists. Most of the family's BMDs were recorded at Beddgelert chuch.
Hope this is some help,
Pinot

Hi Peter,
A preliminary search through the index entries for Dolwyddelan did not produce any mention of Griffith Williams; perhaps when I get the time do do the same for Ellinor in Llanrwst something may come to light. Shall let you know if it does.
Cheers,
Pinot

hi Pam my family are from Gardd Llygad y Dydd but there are 2 farmhouses there and both are Williams! Both families ( my grandfather Thomas Williams and William Williams family) have been buried next to each other in Llanfrothen cemetry.I acn tell you that my great great grandmother was called Mary Jones. She came orig from Brondanw Llanfrothen and died 3/3/1929. She married Thomas Williams from Gardd Llygad y Dydd who was born 10/11/1827 and died when he was 62.
Seeing that you have the Powell surname at the bottom of your message then you might be searching for the family next door who are related to the famous Welsh judge Dewi Watkin Powell.

Hi Peter,
I see you have been researching a Williams family in Dolwyddelan. My Williams family were at Beudy Bach (just a 100 yards or so from Penrhiw) in the 1840's and 1850's. There were Williams' also in Penrhiw and I've wondered if there is a connection between the families?

Hi Willjay
There appear to be several Williams families from the area. I have traced back to Griffith W born circa 1786 in Dolwyddelan who married Elinor (Roberts I believe) from the Llanrwst area. I have found 6 children Robert, John, Catherine,Griffith John again (assume first John died) and Jane and many more grandchildren and the next few generations. There also seem to be Jones's living at the farm which seems to be split although I do not have details at the moment.
Would like to forward what you have via Ancestry in a PM which you will be able to do after I think your 3rd posting and we can take it from there.
Peter
