My great, great grandfather b, 1802 was a blacksmith all his working life and lived in his later years in Colwyn Bay having been born in Eglwysrhos. John was married to Ellen born in 1822 in Llanfairfechan and they had 5 children.
I have a great deal of information about them already but after recently sending for John's death certificate i am mystified to see he lived at Colwyn Terrace, Colwyn Bay when he had been with Ellen and family at Brynhyfrydd until 1871. I am also unsure why he was at Colwyn Terrace in 1873 (year of his death aged 71), and a person called Margaret Williams of Colwyn Terrace registered his death! This is the first time i have encountered the Williams name and if anyone knows where Colwyn Terrace used to be or if there was ever a nursing home there etc might point me in the right direction. I also do not know where his smithy in Colwyn Bay was, he had previously worked at Marl Smithy employing 2 apprentice smiths.
Any information wouold be appreciated. Thanks.
