Hi there,

ifhf has 4 children that I can see baptised to this couple in Westmeath

Francis Williams 1858
Francis Williams 1862
George Williams 1856
Rose Williams 1856

It's saying that there are 2 further baptisms to a John Williams and ? Melia but I can't work out the names or dates.

Hi there,

Sorry, I have just gone into ifhf and they have started to charge just to do a search :(

They are stating that they will let you do 10 free searches so I recommend that you joing them (which is free) and then look yourself for the churches.

I do remember though that all the names I gave you had parents listed as John Williams and Bridget Melia !

Maybe the Rose Williams that you saw on ancestry was another one !
