Hi
Info copied from Rosie's link, plus bit more:
Original posting by Weeford..
Trying to trace Laura Williams born 1838 Sarn, Caernarvonshire. This information was taken from the 1881 Census, Ashton on Mersey. As Sarn Bach is a very small hamlet, is there anyone who knows who Laura's father and mother were.

She married William Owen on 28.3.1864 at Manchester Cathedral
Sight of the marriage entry will give her fathers name. The 1841 only has one entry for her age but living in Llanddeiniolen. I checked the 1851 as well but none with Sarne as a birthplace
In 1871 - her birthplace is just Caernarvon but birthyear is 1840.
In 1891 - it's 1838 and just Wales
In 1901 it's Sarne 1838
Just had a look on my road atlas and Sarn was very close to Botwnnog and Bryncroes
Have a look at this 1851 entry for Bryncoes

1861 Census William/Eizabeth/Thomas in Ty Bach, Bryncroes. William's age 61 rather than 59, and Elizabeth born Aberdaron – Thomas, Bryncroes, reverse of 1851; also another son Griffith 7, born Bryncroes. There's a problem with this area 1861 Census with Ancestry, brings up the wrong image – OK on Find my Past.
1871 Census (Ancestry) at Londdiffyg, Bryncroes. William 73!, Elizabeth 62 LLANGIAN, Griffith 17 Sailor Bryncroes.
