Hi,

There are trees on Ancestry which would enable you to contact the tree owners to try and find out more about his family. However, It is essential for you to get his marriage certificate if you want to get confirmation of his father's details (otherwise its simply pure guesswork).

For your consideration a tree shows his Caernarvonshire place of birth as Llanrhoshwyn - no details of parents shown. Using this place name (Parish Llanrhychwyn) in 1841 there is a Robert Williams age 2 (one of 5 children) with John and Mary Williams at Cae Coch - occupation Farming and they are still there in 1851 (Robert age 12).

This may be the correct family but there are so many Williams families with names John and Mary, it is impossible to be sure without actual proof.
