I've been in touch with my sister Jennifer, and she has promised to look through the old family photographs. If she finds anything of interest, she'll let me know, and I in turn will let you know. I seem to remember seeing a photo of Elizabeth Williams nee Jones, our great grandmother, with her daughter Margaret, your grandaunt, my grandmother. Also, I have found in the national archives Hugh Williams' first world war service record. That is Hugh, our granduncle. I don't know if you are aware of this, but Elsie's daughter Elizabeth, is a renowned opera singer. I attach the web link.

My goodness, it is a small world. Margaret and Selwyn are my mum and dad. Sadly, they passed away a number of years ago. I am Edward, and Jennifer is my sister. My mother’s sister Elsie, married Norman Woollett, who served in the Metropolitan Police Force. My mother’s other sister Gwyneth, lived with her husband Cecil, and family at Hastings. Thank you very much for the info on my grandmother Margaret, in the 1911 census. Do you by any chance have an account with Ancestry.co.uk? If not, I might have a problem sending you a link to my mother’s ancestral chart. If you would like to e-mail me, the address is: abergele1754@hotmail.co.uk.
With kind regards and best wishes
Edward

How interesting! Rowland Williams, born circa 1797, is my maternal 3rd great grandfather. Rowland and Elizabeth's son, Rowland, born 1830, married Margaret Williams, at Llanallgo in 1849. Their son Hugh, married Elizabeth Jones, in 1885. Hugh and Margaret's daughter Margaret, is my grandmother. Hugh and Elizabeth were living, at the time of the 1911 census, at the chapel house, Llanallgo. Please see the attachment.
With kind regards

Anglesey / Re: Daniel Thomas of Newbrough, Anglesey
« on: Thursday 19 June 14 13:38 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for the baptism of a Daniel Thomas, who, according to the Newbrough 1851, 61, and 71 census, was born in the parish of Llanidan, circa 1800. I have a strong suspicion, that he was, in some way, related to Robert and Eleanor Thomas, of Melin Bodwyr, Llanidan. Daniel married Jane Hughes, at Llanidan, in 1828, and one of the witnesses was a Robert Thomas, whom I believe to have been a son of Robert and Eleanor Thomas.     

The following is an edited transcript of document held at Anglesey County Record Office, which implies a close working relationship between Robert, and Daniel Thomas. Hugh Thomas, was for certain, Robert Thomas' brother. I am a descendant of Daniel, and therefore, I need to prove the link.

28 July 1856. Hugh Thomas of Brynsiencyn, parish Llanidan, stonemason, Robert Thomas of Bodowyr Mill, Llanidan and Daniel Thomas of Tanylan, Newborough, farmer, do hereby bond the sum of Ł179 for erection of a new bridge, near Bodowyr mill. Owen Owen, gent, Clerk of the Peace.


I would value any help in this matter.

Carmarthenshire / M A Rees Felinfoel Llanelli
« on: Monday 28 October 13 11:46 GMT (UK)  »
I have tried looking for a M A PRICE in the 1911 census, but found nothing. 

All I know is that she witnessed the death certificate of Mary Rees in September 1920, is described as a daughter to the deceased. At that time, she lived in Stepfield Row, Felinfoel. Llanelli.  I know that Mary Rees had 3 children Mary Hannah Rees my husbands grandmother, who was married, and living in Gorseinon in 1920. William John Rees married and living in Llanelli in 1920 and Elizabeth Rees who never married and lived in the family home of Caerllwyn Farm Felinfoel, Llanelli in 1920.  M A Price is a complete mystery,

Can anyone help solve this mystery?  I need the information to send to my husbands family in America. We know there were only 3 children, and only 3 shared in the succession of the land in America, but M A Price has to be explained.
