Request lookup in 1861 and 1871 for the family of Eliza Williams, born about 1819 in Solva. She had at least 3 children all born in Fishguard, Dinah born about 1855, William born about 1858 and Mary born about 1865. By 1881 Eliza was widowed and living in Wallis Street, Fishguard.
I am particularly interested in discovering Eliza's husband and any other children. Thank you, Dave

William Williams in 1841 ::) ::) ::) there are just too many.
You need the marriage cert to find his fathers name.

Thank you for all the info. It looks as if Eliza was widowed before 1871. It's a strange entry for 1851 where William Williams is described as a visitor. If it's the same guy he'd been visiting for some time...............
Must be Jordanston which is close to Fishguard. Thanks again Dave

Thank you both very much, Dave

For the future you may wish to consider the mrge of John Williams to Dinah Evan at St Dogwells on the 23 June 1825.
It could be usefull if someone happened to find John & Dinah in the 1851.

Thank you for the marriage, Orielbenfro. Until now I was unaware of the parish of St Dogwell despite, in my younger days travelling the Haverfordwest/Fishguard road many times. Famous, it appears, as the burial place of Owain Glyndwr.
Regards, Dave

Thank you very much for the source material. I do like the way they wrote the letter 'E' in the surname Evan. Also John Miles's baptism does seem to confirm his mother's name as Ashash.

Hello, Not sure if you're still looking, but I'm also researching Eliza(Elizabeth) Williams, from Wallis Street, Fishguard... she was the mother of 6 children, Dinah the third of these being my great grandmother. Dinah married Thomas Cornock, a blacksmith, from Fishguard, and went on to have I think 6 children of her own. The 1861 census shows the Williams family living with Jane Evans, listed as head of house, born St Davids, probably 1785. From the dates on the census, it looks like Eliza was born around 1821.
I'd love to see how far you've got with this research ... we're probably related a long way back!

Hi rhw19
Welcome to RootsChat and Pembrokeshire.
This was an unexpected, but welcome, update on a very old post. Thomas Cornock and Dinah Williams I believe had 7 children - Elizabeth, James, Mary, Jane, John, Gwilym and Eleanor Margaret. Jane Cornock (1889 - 1972) married Thomas John Miles (1887 - 1970) in 1916. They had 6 children, the oldest David Gwilym Miles was my uncle.
After a few more posts you will be able to receive a personal message which, if you are interested, can contain family information not for general consumption.
Cheers Dave

By the way, if you click on the icon of the small hut below the picture on my post (Mametz Wood) you should be directed to an old family tree called the Welsh Connection. Please feel free to browse.
