Caernarvonshire / Owen Jones Williams - Baker Pwllheli c1876
« on: Monday 19 November 07 17:40 GMT (UK)  »
I'm a relatively new researcher and have unexpectedly made progress on my Welsh ancestoral line following a short term dead end caused by an illegitimate grandfather!

I have found that my great great grandfather was Owen Jones Williams and on his marriage certificate in 1886 was showing as a Baker living in Kingshead Street, Pwllheli.  I wonder whether anyone has any photo's of Kinsghead Street around that time or any other information.
His wife Mary Jones was living at Lwynffynon, Pwllheli at the time of her marriage - I assume she was a domestic servant as the census seems to show a stream of servants - anyone have any records by any chance?

I also have a couple of other dead-ends if anyone has done any research on the Pwllheli or Abererch area and fancies a challenge!  ;)

Oh dear, it may be difficult for me to progress but will have a look and see if there's any other options - thanks both!  :)

The Common Room / Death cert info from 1870's
« on: Sunday 14 October 07 08:15 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know whether place of birth is detailed on an 1873 death certificate?  My GGG Grandfather died in Bethnal Green Workhouse in 1873 and I know from censuses that he and his wife were born in Germany and must have come to the UK c1830, however I have no idea which area they were from.  Is it worth me getting a copy of his death certificate? Thanks
