Edward Williams Hay-on-Wye

[Peterhastie]

Researching this for a friend.

Edward Williams b c1815, St Davids Breconshire, is on Black Lion road, Hay, in 1861 with his wife Eliza and family.

In 1871 he appears to be at the same place but with a different wife, Charlott.

Could anyone confirm Eliza died and Edward remarried?

Also the friend in question has the middle name Lilwall and so do many of his family.

The origin of the name has been lost and i have been unable to connect the Williams with the Lilwalls, who seem prominent in the area.

I have been using a tree on Ancestry, whos' owner has not yet replied to my enquiry, and cannot see any connection from that.

Maybe its pre BMD registration.

Thanks KGarrard and Trish1120

I never thought to look just across the border with Charlotte being born Hay, on the 1871census

Just returned from the library and free FindMyPast and got the Parish Register entry for Edward, marrying Eliza Nichols, Feb 19th 1842.

Next visit i'll see if i can find Edward and Charlotte's marriage in the Warwickshire Parish Registers.

Still no link to the Lilwalls?

Let us know the outcome after you research the 1866 Marriage (I hope its the right one)

Alas, no parish entry for Edward and Charlottes marriage on FindMyPast.

Hi there, Edward Williams (widower) married Charlotte Dearden (spinster) on 2 June 1866 in the district of Aston, county of Warwick. They had a son, George Morgan Williams, born 26 May 1868. (There may have been other children.) George is my husband’s great great grandfather.  Edward Williams died on 5 April 1880 (65 years of age) at 27 Lion Street, Hay. The informant was listed as Henry Williams, son. Charlotte died on 14th January 1879 at 27 Lion Street, Hay at the age of 51.
