Monmouthshire / Griffith Williams Newport golfer
« on: Sunday 31 December 23 15:22 GMT (UK) »
Hi I'm trying to trace the history of a family member who was a professional golfer at Newport in the 1920s. Griffith Williams was born in Harlech in north Wales in 1893 and was a professional golfer somewhere in the London area before the first world war. When he came back from the war he was a club professional in Newport. I found an article from 2001 stating that Gwyn James, who was a club professional at Newport for 40 years, used to be a 12 year old caddy for Griffith Williams in 1920. Griffith married Ethel Mary Cox in Newport Market in 1922. I would be grateful of any further information about him. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to trace an Evan Jones born in 1872 in Dinas, Llaniestyn. His parents were Richard Jones 1844 and Ellen Williams 1846-1933. In 1881 they lived in Tanygarreg. I can't trace him at all after that. Would appreciate any help.

Caernarvonshire / Re: Robert Roberts 1857
« on: Thursday 21 May 20 15:55 BST (UK) »
I have found them on the 1861 census but cant quite work out the name of the house which is somewhere near Mynydd Ednyfed. In the household are John Roberts age 30 and originally from LLannor. Jane Roberts 33 and from Llanystumdwy. Robert is 4 and William is 2. In 1871 Robert is a 14 year old servant at Muriau Mawr farm but can't find anything after that. Diolch am unrhyw help.
