PARRY family of Amlwch

[Mart56]

Richard Parry was married in Amlwch in 1782 to Catherine Williams.  He had two daughters, Catherine born c1798 who married Robert Evans, copper smelter, in 1820, and moved to Cwmavon in Glamorgan; and Mary born c1799 who married John Thomas in Cwmavon.  Both families have descendants in Australia, many of whom are known; but we do not have much information about them in Anglesey.  If anyone is tracing this family I would be delighted to exchange information.

Thanks Colin.  The temptation is to latch onto an entry like that and haul it into your family tree but without more evidence I don't think I can - yet.
