Carmarthenshire Completed Requests / Benjamin Williams Llwynglas *COMPLETE*
« on: Tuesday 03 August 10 02:53 BST (UK) »
Hello
I'm trying to find Benjamin Williams born ca 1849, in 1881 and earlier:
In 1891 to 1911 Benjamin was at Llwynglas, Pontantwn, Llangendeirne, Carmarthen with his wife Jane and various children (but a John Charles and family were at Llwynglas in 1881).
Llwynglas 1891 children: Mary, John, David, William
RG12 Piece: 4515 Folio: 24 Page: 6
Llwynglas 1901 children: Benjamin, Elizabeth
RG13 Piece: 5110 Folio: 53 Page: 7
In 1911 Benjamin and Jane were said to be married 25 years, so probably about 1885/6. Children with them at Llwynglas in 1911: David and Elizabeth

From the children's ages in 1891, e.g. Mary b1880 and John b1883, I suspect that Benjamin may have married twice.
Benjamin died in 1919 age 70 and is buried at Meinciau near Kidwelly, with his son Benjamin who died 1913 age 20, and daughter Elizabeth Bowen who died 1921 age 24. Can't tell if Jane is there too due to condition of the stone. Daughter Mary is buried at Croesyceiliog although I haven't found the grave.
I'm wondering whether this could be Benjamin in 1881 with first wife Margaret at Cloigin Fach, Llangendeirne in 1881. This place is very close to Llwynglas.
Children Thomas, Anne, and Hannah.

The family know that Benjamin had a son Thomas, as well as John, Benjamin, Mary, David, and Elizabeth. Although Benjamin was a coal miner 1891 onwards, he could have had a different occupation prior to that. His birthplace and age also change between census records, but I think he was born around 1849 based on his gravestone.
It's difficult because they have different children with them at each census. With the surname Williams this is not going to be an easy one to crack, but I know that it's not impossible.
Many thanks
Morgan
