Here we go..................
I'm trying to find out about a WILLIAM WILLIAMS who I believe was born in Llandegla, North Wales in 1810ish.
William Williams married Mary Douglas (born 1807 in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire)
On August 5th 1828 at St Dunstan in the West
They lived in China Row, Lambeth.
CHILDREN:
Thomas Robinson Williams
Christened 5th April 1829 in Lambeth
He is in the 1841 census living with his mother’s relations Thomas Robinson (b. c1780 in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire) & his wife Elizabeth (b. c1780 in Llandegla) They lived in Harleyford Road, Lambeth. Thomas Robinson was a hairdresser/perfumer (this fact could be important) and the family seem quite well off as they have servants. In his Will Thomas Robinson owned quite a lot of property and left it all to Thomas Robinson Williams.
Thomas Robinson Williams went on to become a barrister and when he was called to the bar stated that his father was a William Williams (gent) from Llandegla.
The family then went to live in 17, Gravel Lane, Holland Street, Borough
ANOTHER CHILD:
Mary Ann Williams
Born November 6th 1830
Baptised January 2nd 1831
Address: Gravel Lane, Southwark
Parents: William & Mary Williams
Father’s occupation: Hairdresser
MARY ANN WILLIAMS
Died January 6th 1832
Address: Gravel Lane, Southwark
Aged 14 months
Then his wife died:
Mary Williams of Gravel Lane was buried at St Saviour Southwark on 26 July 1832, aged 25.
Their first child Thomas Robinson Williams then went to live with Mary’s relations in Lambeth, presumably so William could continue to work.
William was a hairdresser.
He then remarried an Ann Knight (he appears in the 1841 & 1861 census) I think he died between 1861 & 71 as in the 1871 census Ann is described as a widow of a hairdresser.
Their children were:
THOMAS WILLIAM born 27th May 1836 Christened June 19th 1836 Southwark St Saviours Lived St Thomas,
MARY ANN Christened 1837 died 1845
ELIZABETH born 1839
JOHNATHAN born 1840
HUGH Christened 10th November 1842 St Bide, Fleet Street died 1843
LUDWICK (Frederick) born 1846
ELIZA born 1848
WILLIAM HENRY born 1857 christened 27th October 1861 in Charterhouse St. Thomas Islington
The family had addresses at
21 Harp Alley
40 Great Sutton Street
15 Mount Pleasant
In 1871 Ann was in Barts Hospital where she described herself as a widow of a hairdresser. Frederick, Jonanthan & William were living nearby in in Rawnstorne Street, Clerkenwell.
Also although I’m pretty sure he was, I need confirmation that the William Williams married to Mary & Ann was the William Williams born in Llandegla.
I've got loads more if you want it!!!!!!!
Thanks again
