Thomas Williams born Newcastle Emlyn lived in Laugharne

[osprey]

1841 census doesn't give places of birth, just whether they were born in county, in Ireland, Scotland or Foreign parts. For that family, all born in county.

1851 Llanstephan Village HO107/2472 folio 371 pg 1
Mary William head mar 47 mariner's wife
David son 13
John son 9
Annah dau 7
George son 4
all born Llanstephan

George baptised in Llanstephan Oct 1846 son of John, mariner, and Mary. Possible birth regs in sept qtr 1846 have mother's maiden name as Jones or Davies.
Possible marriage 26 Dec 1825 in Llanstephan for John Williams & Mary Davis, both marked, both otp, and witnessed by David Lewis & John Davies, both signed.
can't see parish baptisms in Llanstephan for any of the other children.

Don't assume that parents are likely to be witnesses, in the families I've followed, it's more often siblings or friends.

Thanks Osprey, The information provided I had not found. Although I can see this is not the family I will look further as Mariner from Newcastle Emlyn may open a path. Her father Jonah Howell was also a Labourer, but in the 1841 Census is a Mariner.

Her broken gravestone is where the Philadelphia Independent Chapel stood. I could read 8th Damaged 1908, so now I know it is June. Also on the gravestone is their daughter also Margaret aged 22 years. The oldest daughter Esther was baptised in Llansadurnen, but after that they supported the new chapel much further away, but each baptism says they were still living in Llansadurnen.

The Jane Killa I gave you was the same age as Margaret and a neighbour.

Thomas Son 6 is my grandfather
Martha is Martha Jane Richards
From a newspaper article when Thomas (Head) died it also named Violet May Williams and Florence as daughters.
There are links within my family between Haverfordwest and Laugharne. Thomas (son) married Margaret Elizabeth Victoria Brown of Laugharne in 1915 at Merthyr Tydfil; they were cousins.
