Thanks Deidre will have a look at that one ,,,and yes I have thought about the fathers name and wondered if it could have been made up or perhaps if John was a nick or common name used instead of real name.

Cheers Barb :)

Hi many thanks for the help, much appreciated, I guess it,s just a matter of keep looking and asking  and someone may have something in there own tree that could throw some light on my grandfather William Owen or his Brother Hugh Williams of Colwyn Bay.

Cheers Barb  :)

Hi to everyone, many thanks for the reply's to my call for help. I have looked at all the suggestion and advice given and I am in confusion. the William Owen in the 1881 census  living with Peter, his birth place is given as 1875 Gwytherin which is a long way from Henllan. I have looked at the baptismal record sometime ago and have tried to get a birth cert however there are no births registered with the GRO for that person. The William Owen  in 1874 Llanwrst I did get the birth cert and the Father is not John.

My points of reference for him are,, he states he was born in Henllan Denbighshire on his marriage cert and again in the 1911 census. His father is named as John a farmer on the marriage cert. He claims he was 34 yrs in 1910 making the birth year as 1877 and he was reported as 80 in 1955 on his death birth year would have been 1875

Were to from here ????? :-X

Hi I have been trying to identity a birth record for my Grandfather for the past two years,,I have hit a brick wall,, is there anyone who could help please.
His name is William Owen Williams I have him on the 1911 census living with wife and child in Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd Denbighshire he states his place of birth as Henllan. I also have his marriage cert showing his age as 34 years in 1910 his Father John Williams a farmer deceased, place of birth was shown as Henllan. I have his burial report and funeral card showing he died in Tanyfron at aged 80 years in 1955, his Brother Hugh was at the funeral  with his wife and daughter Nellie they lived in Colwyn Bay. Not sure if Hugh was older or younger than him.

I have a William Owen Williams on the 1881 census living with a Peter Williams place of birth shown as Gwytherin this is a long way from Henllan. I have found many William Owens  on Census but none with a Hugh and not with a Father named John or  being born in Henllan. I have purchased three birth certs from GRO none have a Father named John. ,,,help please Barb  ???
