Re: your query on Gwasted Geirchen, Llangristiolus and the marriage of Margaret (Maggie) Williams to John Williams. I believe Maggie is the sister of my grandfather, Samuel Williams. Samuel and Maggie were 2 of 13 children born to Pierce Williams (1833-1903) and his wife Ellinor/Ellen/Ellin (nee Owen. Gwasted Geirchen was origially the home of Ellinor's parents, Thomas and Catherine Owen. Pierce and Ellinor moved into the property c.1871. Maggie was born in 1876 and married John Williams on 12th May 1900 at Twr Gwyn Chapel, Upper Bangor, N. Wales by Minister Daniel Rowlands. Pierce was the son of William Williams 1805-1885 and his wife Elizabeth Jane (nee Jones) 1797-1884.
