As many of you know I've been on the hunt for my gt gt grandfather John Williams for what feels like an eternity. I won't go into all the avenues I've pursued - you'd need all day to read them. However....since we don't give up until we've obliterated our brick walls I'd like to run a possible lead past you Rootchatters. I may now be entering the realms of desperation but here goes....
On my grandmother's brother. John James Harrington, Catholic baptism record from Findmypast there is more than one baptism on the original page. He was baptized in September 1889 at St Mary's, Horseferry Road, Westminster
My great grandmother's surname was Williams.
Below John James Harrington's entry, on the same day, there is a baptism for a James (Jacobus) Williams.
I am wondering if there is some sort of tentative family connection between the two families. Of course it may be entirely coincidental that two families with a surname in common had their children baptized on the same day in the same church.
if nothing else it proves there were other catholic families called Williams in the Westminster area around the same time.
I've had to separate the two images as they are too big to upload as one.
John James reference is 425
