The one that concerns me is Owen Owens c1600 Bodeon or Bodior d 1684 Bodior Estate Rhoscolyn. His father and grandfather were both named John Owen, according to the 1914 Griffiths Pedrigree Charts, but I cannot find any details of these 2 men. Also Hugh Owen of Bodeon/Orielton and his relatives Sir Arthur Owen had property in Rhoscolyn about 1700 any help, gratefully received. Gaffa

Does anybody have Owen/Owens ancestors who came from Llanbadrig?

My earliest definite ancestor was my gg-grandfather Hugh Owen(s) who was born in Llanbadrig in 1811. He lived there until the mid 1850's when he took his family to live in Bangor.

The last known address for Hugh was Tan y Graig which was located between Carrog Farm and the Cemaes Mill on the Llanfechell road. Alas the property has long since gone.

I have put the "s" at the end of his surname in brackets as this would change from Owen to Owens dependent on the documents and the time in his life. Although the spelling of names in the past was not so set in stone as it is today, I do suspect that he may have been an Owen rather than an Owens. Therefore I believe it is not a patronymic surname.

I have a found a potential baptism for him on 12 July 1811 to a Hugh and Catherine Owen of Ty Newydd, Llanbadrig but at this moment I cannot say that this is him. The parish records for Llanbadrig at around this time are in poor condition and so difficult to decipher.

I would be interested to hear from anybody who has ancestry from Llanbadrig or has historical knowledge of the area.

Thanks!

Yes,
There was another Owen family living in Anglesey about 1530, besides the ones I have previously mentioned. His name was William Owen and his son George, became the 'Lords of Kemys{ Cemais}' they came from Henllys of Nevern Pembrokeshire. William [a Lawyer] purchased the Crown Lands due to Lord Audley's forfeitshire c 1525-1536. I have not followed them any further. However, if you live in Anglesey. Llangefni Archives may have the Hearth & Land Tax documents, Poor rates etc. worth a visit.
 By the way the name has nothing to do with patronymics. In Wales you cannot have a first name the same as the Surname. I.e Owen Owen becomes Owens. William William becomes Williams etc.

Gaffa,

Thanks for the feedback. I will take up your advice and visit Llangefni archives and see if there are any connections with my family and this particular line of Owens.

By the way the name has nothing to do with patronymics. In Wales you cannot have a first name the same as the Surname. I.e Owen Owen becomes Owens. William William becomes Williams etc.

I always thought the "s" at the end of a surname was just an English version of the Welsh "ap". I was a bit dubious of the comment at first then when I looked through my family tree it stood out like a sore thumb. All my ancestors who had the same forename and surname had an "s" at the end of the surname. The only exception was my uncle who was Owen Hugh Owen but I am guessing the fact there was Hugh in the middle meant the "s" was not required?

I have numerous Owen Owens within my tree, from Beaumaris and Holyhead. I am currently looking into Owen Hugh Owens, b.1850 Holyhead, a mariner. Married Catherine (Kate) Lloyd from Aberffraw in 1873 and eventually moved to Liverpool.
I have recently discovered that Owen was one of the crew on the Lusitania that was torpedoed in 1915.

I too am researching Owens!  I'm looking for more information on a John Owen (Owens) who came to the US from Rhoscolyn, Anglesley.  He came to the US around 1652 into VA.  I'd love to see if anyone else has a connection to this elusive man!
