Thanks for the offer to check the 1861 MER census.

I'm looking for two Owen WILLIAMS

He may have a wife, Ellin (aged abt 57)

2. Owen WILLIAMS (b 1842 +/- , Llanddwywe (poss is y graig) or Dyffryn area), aged abt 19.  May be a farm labourer or miner living in Bontddu/Penrhyn/Llanaber area.  Unmarried.

Apologies for vagueness of details but Owen WILLIAMS is my brick wall :(

Thanks again

1. Couldn't find any Owen Williams living at Llechfraith or Uwchmynydd. There were three in Meirioneth, two had wives, neither were called Ellin.
One was born 1795 Llanfrothen and lived in Llanfrothen.
The second was born 1799 in Llanbedr and lived at Maentwrog
The third was widowed, born 1797 in Maentwrog and lived at Llangower, Uwchafon, by Bala lake.

2. There are two Owen Williams with birthplace noted as Llandanwg which is about 5 miles north of Llanddwywe. The same household seems to have been counted twice under two different census returns!? The details are the same on both.

Tyddyn Du, Llanfair Parish, Llanenddwyn, Meirionethshire
also (no address)  Llanfihangely traethau, Llanfair, Meirionethshire

Name                   Birth         Birth Place
John Griffith         abt 1817  Llanfair, Merionethshire       Head  Farmer of 100 acres
Margaret Griffith  abt 1820  Celynia, Merionethshire          Wife 
Jane Griffith         abt 1852  Llanfair, Merionethshire        Daughter
Ellis Griffith          abt 1808  Celynia, Merionethshire         Brother-in-law     
Ellen Richards      abt 1842  Llandecwyn, Merioneth.       House Servant 
Richard Richards  abt 1844  Llandecwyn, Merioneth.       Servant - Ag Lab
Jane Williams       abt 1839  Llandanwg, Merionethshire  Servant - Ag Lab
Owen Williams     abt 1843  Llandanwg, Merionethshire  Servant - Ag Lab

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for going to all that trouble.  I'm beginning to wonder if patrynomics is the cause of all my problems!

On with the hunt.
