I have death cert but as discussed gives Brynllwyd Farm so no help there.

However, my Welsh cousin may have discovered the marriage of MEM to WW in Aberystwyth district:
 ref JAS 1893 11b 93 Aberystwyth
WW age 21 quarryman, father John Williams a Shopkeeper, deceased.
MEL age 21 father William, farmer deceased.
Married 8 Aug 1893 both living Talybont

This fits with John Williams family in census 1861, 1871 (John a draper grocer) who died in 1880 leaving wife Margaret a widow in 1891 and 1901 1911 censuses.
Looks good but hesitate to say its certain given false starts in the past!

Sorry, that last census bit lacks context
I was referring to John Williams in 1871 at Shop Cwrt, parish Talyllyn, Dolgelly,
Ref RG10/5689
Looks a good fit but there may be other possibilities since the residence given for both of them was Talybont which is some way away from Cwrt, Tallylyn, Dolgelly. It would be good to find some confirmation.
