Re the newspaper report in Welsh :

Ebrill 25ain, yn swyddfa'r cofrestrydd Dolgellau, yn mhresenoldeb Mr Thomas Parry, cofrestrydd, Mr Thomas Hughes, Greenfield Ter race, Corris, a Mrs Mary Elizabeth Williams, Brynllwyd, Corris



Translates as :
April 25th, at the Registry Office, Dolgellau, in the presence of Mr Thomas Parry, Registrar.............

There is a possible match between this

and the death of a William Williams aged 20 in Dolgelly district Sept Qtr 1894.

Interesting that it says that 'he leaves a widow and 2 children' .

We can't give info from the 1911 but this might show  in the fertility info for Elizabeth. It might be worth looking at Ian.

Thanks Roger and Gadget.
Looks as if Brynwllyd Farm is a consistent link and dates all make sense.
Help me with the Welsh - could Mr John Williams of 7 Marine Terrace have been the father?

Have found her in the 1911
She had 5 children 3 living, 2 dead. The three living would have been WLW and the two Hughes half brothers

Believe Mary Lloyd and William Williams 1894 Dolgelly 11b 630 must be the marriage

Hi Ian

It appears from the 1891 that the Brynllwyd   farm was occupied by the Lloyds - Mary E's parents were William and Grace.  She also had a brother David. The newspapers show a David Lloyd, Brynllwyd, Corris,  winning various prizes at agricultural shows - it might be him or someone else.

I think the John Williams, mentioned in the newspaper, was as a separate entry as there was a semi-colon between suggesting a list - I'll go look again

It was a separate announcement.

The North Wales BMD shows the 1894 Dolgellau marriage (definitely Mary Lloyd to William Williams) as a civil marriage, so no parish record, sadly. Dolgellau ref is DOL/12/E117

Cant find a logical reason to decide which is William Williams family.
Most likely seems to be parents David 41 and mary 41 in 1881 with William 8 born Dolgelly. That would make him born abt 1873 which is close to being 20 at death in 1894

Roger - you mention RG12/4641/85/1 - am not sure how to identify which that is?
