Anglesey / Re: Meshach Williams / Margaret Hussey Burgh
« on: Saturday 21 August 10 17:44 BST (UK) »
I have also come to (near !) the end of my tether with my search for the origins of Margaret Husseyburgh wife of Meshach Williams 
An aquaintance of mine , Lyn Williams living in Bangor has asked me to chase up her long lost Husseyburgh family. She must be a relation on yours and I am happy to pass on her contact details to you.
Lyn has some oral history passed down in the family, and it goes like this:-
"This is the story that we were told about my grandmother's family. Count de Burgh left Russia after the assassination. He set up stables in Dublin, and his daughter 'fell' for one of the stable lads. She was sent to school in Switzerland for a year. She came back to Dublin, married her stable lad and was disowned. She left Dublin for Anglesey with only her silver christening presents."
Maddenlingly no names!!! Obviously oral history has its drawbacks, but surely there must be some hints here. I know that there was a large Hussey De Burgh family in Dublin and also in Caernarvon and Bodedern on Anglesey at one time.
I live on Anglesey and am now sucked into this mystery
Would like to find Margaret's birth - no sign of her anywhere in Wales or England.
