Caernarvonshire / John and Ann (Griffiths) Owens
« on: Saturday 24 March 07 13:57 GMT (UK)  »
My gg grandparents John and Ann (Griffiths) Owens(s) may have lived in Caernarvonshire before coming to the U.S. in 1850. In the 1841 Census  I find John Owens, born abt 1811 and Ann Owens, born about 1811 living in Llangian, Caernarvonshire,  Wales. (Their years of birth match what I have) The farm was called Tanyffordo (sp?). Also, the following children were listed:  Margaret (1833), John (1835), Owen (1838), Catherine (1841). Also listed is Margaret Griffiths (1766). This may be Ann's mother.  I know that John and Ann had a son Owen (my records have him b. abt. 1841) But, we have no record of a Margaret, John or Catherine in this country. My mother, the oldest surviving member of this branch, has never heard of them.  Margaret and John may have been old enough to be on their own when their parents emigrated and stayed in Wales. Perhaps Catherine died as a child, (I can’t find her in the BMD). I writing this in hopes it will ring a bell with other Owens researchers and we can make a connection. Thank you!

Anglesey / Owen/Owens in Anglesey
« on: Saturday 21 October 06 15:02 BST (UK)  »
Many of us are research their Owen/Owens families from Anglesey and we don’t seem to connect. I find it humorous that there are so many descended from such a small island. So, I thought I’d re-post some of what I have in hopes that we Owen descendants can finally come together.

John Owen married Elizabeth Williams and lived on the farm called Henblas in Llanfihangel yn howyn. . John may have had a sister Anne Owen born abt. 1783 in Langridge. She died  on 2/6/1874. She is believed to have married Richard Williams on 9/25/1929 in Llanfihangel Esgeifiog. Richard was born in 1781.

John and Elizabeth had at least 8 children:  Anne (born 1/1818), Elizabeth (1/1819), John and Margaret (both 4/1821), Mary (7/1823), Jane (4/1825) Thomas (1830) and Owen (6/1834).

The above info was from parish records. The 1841 census has only John II and Elizabeth living at Henblas, everyone else has disappeared.

I have only been able to go further with John II and Thomas.  John married Jane, born abt. 1821 and died 11/2/1865. John died 8/26/1897.  Their children: John (born 1846), Anne (1852), William J. (1854), Griffith (1857) and Richard (1860)

Thomas married Elizabeth Jones, born abt. 1835 in Rhoscolyn and died 6/20/1877. Their children: Jane (born 1859), Elizabeth (1862), John (1864), Richard (1868), Margaret (1870), Hugh (1872), Ellen (1874) and Robert (1877). All born in Rhoscolyn.

I have some info on parts of the fourth  and beyond generations, but these time frames seem to be what some of us are looking for. I hope this helps. If any long lost cousins are out there, please let me know.

Thanks,

Richard Owens         ;D

Caernarvonshire / Jospeh and Ellen Wright
« on: Saturday 10 June 06 21:10 BST (UK)  »
My gg grandfather Joseph Wright was born about 1836 in London. He married Ellen Parry, born about 1849 in Caernarvon. They apparently lived in Caernarvon for awhile because their son Joseph Thomas Wright was born there in 1868. Joseph and Ellen had several children, Joseph, Richard, Sarah, Ellen, Mary Jane, James, and Henry. Joseph Sr. was listed as a mariner. Ellen apparently married again to Henry Bromley and had a daughter Susie Maggie Bromley. Perhaps Joseph died at sea?

I have been able to follow the family through the census but as you know, that information tells only part of the story. My Nain, Richard’s daughter saved many clippings of the family once they arrived in the US. But, that is minimal. Unfortunately, those in my family who could help have passed before my interest in genealogy. I know I have cousins out there somewhere and it’s a matter of time before I find some of them. I was just wondering if any of my info rings a bell with you…

Thank you

Anglesey / John Owen of LLanfihangel yn howyn
« on: Saturday 14 January 06 14:37 GMT (UK)  »
I have hit a roadblock; John Owen married Elizabeth Williams in the early 1800’s. They had 8 children (Anne, Elizabeth, John, Margaret, Mary, Jane, Thomas, and Owen) were all baptized in Llanfihangel yn howyn, Anglesey from 1818 thru 1834. The family lived at Henblas.

The 1841 Census only has John II and Elizabeth II at Henblas. The rest of the family has dissappeared.

John may have had a sister, Anne, born abt. 1783 in Langridge and died February 6, 1874. She is buried in the Llanfihangel yn howyn church cemetery.

I would like to go back further with John and Elizabeth, and their parents, etc. Does any of this info connect with your family?

Thanks,

Richard Owens

Anglesey / Joseph and Ellen Wright, Mary Jane Wright
« on: Wednesday 27 April 05 01:03 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for Richard, Sioned and Dawn (all 3 living), last name misplaced. Sioned is a direct descendant of Joseph and Ellen Wright and their daughter Mary Jane Wright. I started corresponding with them a few years ago and (stupidly) never got their snail mail address. Their e-mail is no longer valid. Richard has info on Joseph and Ellen and their family, my GGG grandparents. If you know them or if they are out there, please let me know.

Thanks,
Richard Owens
