Humphrey Wynne Williams birth/baptism
« on: Thursday 02 September 21 15:56 BST (UK) »
Humphrey Wynne Williams was the son of George Williams and Ellin Wynne Evans and was born in circa 1844/1845 in Llanelltyd, according to all the censuses that he is on.  He became a chemist and dentist in Barmouth and a member of the town council, JP etc and was involved in a scandalous divorce in 1877.  I have plenty of information on his later life and have him in all censuses between 1851 and 1911, but I cannot find a record of his birth in the GRO records or a baptism.  There are baptisms for a couple of his siblings and I've got a BC from the GRO for a couple of siblings too, but when I use the same criteria (surname Williams/mothers name Evans) I can't find him.  I have ordered a BC (1843.Festiniog, vol 27 page 184) but it's not my man.  I've tried Wynne Williams and Wynne as the surname, to no avail.  I've checked the Llanelltyd records for the years around 1844 and have the baptism for his brother George in 1840, but  nothing else, so can anyone help to find him?

There's a Humphrey Williams with mothers name Wynne born Mar 1845 in case the names got mixed up.

Not sure how I missed that, I'll check the baptisms to see if there is another family with similar names and may well order a certificate, so thanks for your quick reply

I ordered the certificate and it's my Humphrey and the GRO have added the mothers name incorrectly as the certificate clearly says Ellen Williams formerly Wynne, so Milliepede thanks for your help.
