Hi Marian, Pauline,
Back at last! I've recently visited Trefriw and have some interesting finds.
Firstly, I found the MI for Mary in the churchyard. I think someone must have been doing some tidying up recently - it was on top of a collapsed mausoleum-style memorial not far from the path on the lefhand side. It is next to one of a similar style for William and Catherine Evans, and if my theories are correct, William is a brother of John (more of that later). The inscription looks as if it was on the end rather than the top.
I've also looked out some family photos and have one of John Williams and Mary Evans which has scanned quite well from a glass plate. By the look of the pose it dates from their marriage (1857 if I remember right).
If you would like to let me know your email addresses at (*), I will send you some photos.
Regards
Martin
