Denbighshire Lookup Requests / Re: William and Isaac Williams
« on: Thursday 21 March 13 14:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Unfortunatly not
But this is John Williams Will dated 1868
This is the last Will and Testament of me John Williams of Stourbridge in the parish of Ruabon in the County of Denbigh Mason     I give and devise unto my Son John Williams and his heirs for ever my two Dwellinghouses with the Land called the Bonk Croft and appurtances thereunto belonging situate at Cefu Bycham  now in the holdings of Samuel Richards and John Jones but subject to any claim or liability I or my brother Isaac Williams (as my surety) may have rendered ourselves to the treasurers of the County of Denbigh in respect of a Bond (which expires in 1884) entered into by us for the rebuilding (in case of demolition) of a certain Bridge called Baeba Bridge near Llangollen       I give and devise the rest and residue of my real Estate wheresoever situate/subject to the annual payment of Eight pounds a piece to my daughters Elizabeth Harriet Eli[z]a and Jane (which I direct to commence after twelve months after my decease and to be paid quarterly)    And I bequeath the whole of my personal Estate of whatsoever nature or description the same may be consist of (but subject to the payment of my debts funeral and testamentary expenses) unto my wife Sarah Williams and my two daughters Mary and Anne equally during the lifetime of my said Wife   and after her decease I give devise and bequeath the said residue of my Real Estate (subject to the payments of the annuities aforesaid to my said daughters for their natural lives) and the whole of my said personal Estate unto and equally between my said two daughters Mary and Anne absolutely as Tenants in common and not as joint Tenants - I appoint my said Daughters Mary and Anne joint Executors of this my Will hereby revoking every other I may have made.   

This may also shed some light
John 1st (or his father) may also have been the owner of a fine house near Ruabon called Bron Heilick Hall, near Chirk, and I believe they tried to find the house many years ago. Bron Heilick was reputed to be “the old home of the Williams family”, up a long drive, an old regency building (or was this just part of it?).  There was a fire at some point, but perhaps part of the house still remains, just a wing of the original house. From the will that John Williams’ father made, John’s two sisters inherited all the remainder of their father’s real estate, which could have included Bron Heilick, so they may have lived there after their father’s death. Again, local historians might help us on this question.

Hi
Hope this makes sense a note I had from a distant relative

John Williams  was born somewhere near Chirk in 1806, although in his will he wrote that he was ‘from Stourbridge in the parish of Ruabon’ and in the codicil ‘from Newbridge near Ruabon’: both of these are little villages near Ruabon and only a few miles from Chirk. From his will, quoted later in this, we know had a brother called Isaac, who I’ve been unable to find in the records: I also haven’t yet discovered their parents. Do any of you, their descendants, know anything about them? We’re looking for a Mr. and Mrs. Williams, perhaps born around 1780 or earlier, probably in the Chirk area of Denbighshire, with two sons named William and Isaac.

Hi
My records show Sarah Susan Jane Newton she was 19 married Thomas Haslam 30 in 1887 and had 1 daughter Grace Ann Haslam. In 1905 she was a widow and married again to Herbert Maidment Sarah died in 1913 age 42. Daughter Grace Ann married in 1910 to Francis Albert Fudge. I cant see any evidence that she was the mother of Nellie Bennett. I will still keep looking though.

Hi Chris / Petmas

I have found out a lot more about the New Inn. It was infact built by Benjamin Ware sometime before 1861 and when it was built it was called Four Poplars Inn and then changed to New Inn. I have obtained an old photo of the inn and one of Benjamin and also one of his workforce at the brick works. Dont know how I would put it on here.
