Hi distant cousins Damo and Troods,
                                                          Looks like another Williams decendant has joined the group.
William Penwell Williams was my ggggrandfather and what a tricky character he seems to be.
Have found much info on him like his wives, children etc about him (incl his grave, and son Williams grave right next door) but find no links to him apart from Date of Birth, Date of Marriages, date of death but what appears to be no direct links to him via the children births etc on fiche etc.
My line is William Penwell, Edwin, Henry Samuel, Alice Beatrice, Melva Jean Crocker then myself.
Lisafox who has had contact is also my 3rd cousin of the same line vering of after Henry Samuel.
Please contact, desperate to fill a few gapes, by the way William Penwell appears to have had a daughter between the death of Elizabeth Anning and the marriage to Isabella May, do you guys know anything about that.
Great to speak to other Williams decendants,
Ed Munro

William Penwell Williams Family.

Need some help in finding members of William Penwell Williams Family that he left behind in England prior to 1856?

His father I believe  was either Sampson Williams or William Sampson Williams.
Believe, but not sure as to his mothers name but could have been  Catherine/Katherine.

He must have left behind brothers or sisters, he married Elizabeth Anning in 1930 in Stoke Demerol in Devonshire and brought most of his family with him to Australia.

Hopefully there is an English connection that will read this and be able to help us work through the puzzle.

William Penwell Williams was my GGGGrandfather, most in the family believe that our Williams' were Welsh but to date we cannot get past Devon.
Lets hope there's a Williams out there that sees a connection

Looking forward to hearing from you Williams'

I have just come across this Beeston website

http://www.beeston-notts.co.uk/default.htm

There are some transcriptions from St John the Baptist Church but the photo's are not up yet.

There is a lot of interesting information, it is well worth a look

Thanks for that Steve - have bookmarked it.

It's nice to see David Hallam's work on Beeston finding it's way onto the net at last. I was lucky to be pointed in his direction when I first started researching my Beeston rellies and he really is a fount of knowledge on the subject!
