Merionethshire Lookup Requests / Williams- Old family Merioneth?
« on: Monday 22 September 08 18:53 BST (UK)  »
I have been informed that my husbands family tree is recorded in a welsh book of old families of Caernarfonshire and Merionethshire, as I dont speak welsh I was wondering if anyone could help.
The family Williams lived at Gardd Llygad Y Dydd, Beddgelert around the early 1800
If anyone has any info on this family tree I would be very grateful

Many Thanks
Pam

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Oxford Graduates look up
« on: Thursday 15 November 07 23:27 GMT (UK)  »
The story is my grandfather went to Oxford and qualified as a Civil engineer, but his family history is sketchy and am not sure how true this is

I need to know if there are any records that could be checked

His name was John Ritchie b 1897
He served in ww1 so that would rule out those years he married in 1922 so I dont think it would have been after that date so looking for anything in between

Can anyone help?

I need help please

Looking for my grandfathers military records WW1 John Ritchie b1897 Kelso but lied about his age to get in he joined the KOSB won medals which have now gone missing so I dont know his Number

Caernarvonshire Lookup Requests / William Jones Bangor?
« on: Monday 06 August 07 07:59 BST (UK)  »
Looking for a trace on William Jones Bangor c 1870 and rest of his line

He married Sydney Williams b1873 Llanllyfni
and had 5 children, Gwylim b1896,Benjamin b1898, Laura b1904 , Mair b1900 and Elizabeth b 1902
1901 census shows him living at 26 Caellepa Bangor, his occupation on the census was a gardener

Family talk says he was the gardener to the vicar of Bangor and possibly worked as a gardener in Penrhyn Castle but this is not validated

Much appreciate any help
