Hi Deirdre
Sorry I have not got the answer for you but have you searched Yffor.com ? Keith Parry has transcribed most of the parish records for Pwllheli (Denio) and surrounding parishes. It also includes some of the non-conformist records as well.

Thomas - Abererch/Porthmadog
Evans - Llangelynin/Llanaelhaern
Jones - Pwllheli/Abererch
Brammer - Lincolnshire/Nottinghamshire
Robb - London/Scotland

Hi
Have considered a number of William Williams', but ruled them out.
Then came across a possibility, born 1888:
Anne Williams, Brynygorlan, Llangybi, marries Griffith Griffith,  1888.
1891 family living in Abererch - also with them Charles Williams (blind), Anne's brother.
1901 family living in Ystradyfodwg, Glamorgan.
1st Quarter 1885, Anne's brother, William Charles Williams, marries Dorothy (Dora) Hughes, born Llannor.
21/05/1888 William, son of Wm C Wms and Dora born (baptised 27/09/1888 ,Pencaenewydd).
1901 William, age 12 (born Llannor), with parents and 3 other children, at Bryngorlan, Llangybi.
1911 Can't find this William, but is alive, as, according to 1911 Census, WCW and Dora have had 4 children, all still alive.
1911 Anne/Griffith Griffiths and family back in Abererch.

It's possible that Wm, son of Wm C Wms/Dora, joined his aunt down South married and stayed there. Llannor is just outside Pwllheli.

Thanks very much for all your efforts on this Emyr; that looks a great possibility which I'll follow up (though not born on 1 April as I thought, following his entry on the 1939 register).

I had started looking through Yffor but not got very far.

Hi
Forgot to say, William C Williams, the father, was a farmer.
Been in contact with Gwynedd Council re. Registrars - will send PM later.

Hi
Archives nothing to do with Registration of Births. Archives have the Parish records and they would have to search thro all the Registers for the area, something you can do yourself on http://www.yffor.com/index.html

Forgot to ask, have you an indication of the date of birth from his death records ?

Hi Emyr, no sorry, not found his death yet. Will need to go to the Glamorgan archives to look through the electoral rolls. Big help to know where he was in 1939.

Thanks Emyr, that was a bit silly of me ;D

I started on the Gwynedd county council website, looking for the registrars dept, followed several links mentioning family history and birth certs etc and found an email address. Have sent them another message apologising!
