She has only his birth, but I found his marriage in Eglwysilan. He married an Ann Williams at St Illtyd's Church 1782 and stayed in the area, farming. My 2xggrandfather, Richards son came to live and work in Eglwysilan as a boatman, from Lantwit Fardre.

      My goodness this is a long shot without a census.  With our DNA results it could be that Richard was his brother or Ann Williams  could be perhaps Richards sister.  (tried free reg, nothing of note)
  Thanks
Suzanne

If Richard is the the boatman with wife Jane in Cae Ty du, 1841 census, then this article is likely to be about him.See the very bottom of the first column starting with William John.

Thank you so much, what an interesting story.  All that money stored overnight on a boat   ::) beggers belief, considering I thought they were paupers, which Jane is on the 1851 census after Richard died. That 12 yr old Hard labour!! As a matter of interest on the next page of the census, two doors away from Richard, lives his son and family Henry Williams, my 2xggrandfather.
   Thanks once again Sam, you have really gone above and beyond so appreciated.
