Help finding information please.
« on: Sunday 24 January 21 22:10 GMT (UK) »
I have been searching for a while now for some records of a Mary Williams born around 1874 in Coed Talon. (I have this information from the 1911 census for Fach llansannan) Mary williams lived in Llansannan in 1911 and for the most part of the rest of her life. Mary according to the 1911 census had been married to her husband William Williams for 5 years and they had 3 daughters together, Mary Blodwen, Jane, Catherine. I cannot find a marriage record for Mary and William. William williams had 2 daughters - Elizabeth and Margaret - from a previous marriage as did Mary - Gwladys and Myfanwy. Myfanwy williams when married was Myfanwy Evans and resided in Llansannan and Denbigh all her life. Myfanwy (my great grandma) and Gwladys I cannot find records of their births or where they lived until 1911, basically I can't find anything and I don't know what to do to go further with my research. Mary Williams died in 1959 and is buried with William Williams in Llansannan. My grandma was lead to believe from her mother that she never knew her real father as he died when she was born or very young in the North Wales Hospital. If anybody could help me find some information or point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it so much!!

Just checking, were they both widowed or could it be one or other was not free to marry?

Was Williams her birth surname or married surname (first marriage surname?)

Burroughs - Arlingham Glos

This may help - a marriage notice

Mary's first married name was Thomas - her address fits Myfanwy's place of birth
