I've not found any definite trace of this family in the parish records for Llandingat or Llanfairarybryn, and I'm wondering if they were non-conformist. There certainly was a strong non-conformist movement in the area, not surprising with William Williams of Pantycelyn in the neighbourhood

Any chance of some feedback? These haven't been the easiest of searches with common names and no dates of birth, so I hope I haven't been wasting my time.
