Thanks t mo and coombs
The John Anthony Williams I am looking for was born in Anglesey, Wales in 1870 so he would have been about 38 in 1908.
He lived in Caerau, Maesteg, Glamorganshire up to this time. I have a postcard sent to his son dated 17th Jan 1908 with a photo of a ship which I make out to be the Yarmagale Castle (postcard is quite worn) so I pressume that it should read Armadale Castle as this is the nearest match. He also states on the postcard that he was about to set sail to Cape Town.
I belive John Anthony Williams worked in the Gold Mine until he moved back to Wales when he and his family bought a farm in Cardiganshire, Wales.(what date he moved back not known)
Some members of the family also seem to think that he may have been a ships Captain and also travelled to India and the Far East but I have my doubts on this.
Thank You
Julia
