It said Newport on Tay on the ancestry translation, but it's Trefdraeth on the actual document!! How can they get it so wrong??

I'll order some certificates in the New Year just to confirm

Thanks for all your help

There's a baptism record for a Simon Williams on 19th August 1836 at Llangristiolus, Anglesey
born 15th July 1836 in Newport on Tay, Anglesey.

Parents Hugh Williams and Margt Richards

Is there a good chance this is the same one? I wouldn't have thought Simon was a popular name in Wales??

I think that you have mixed 2 families, the one with wife Mary that I had posted then scored out because the Ellen born 13 May 1902 is the daughter of the Maggie Williams married to William Evans, not the daughter of the Mary Thomas married to a different William Evans.

Yeah I had the census for Mary attached to Margaret... DOh

Thanks everyone.

Looking at the 1871 and 1881 census's for Simon Williams, the ages of a couple of the children don't seem to match up. Did they die and then the parents named future children after them?

With regards to Ellen Catherine being mixed up you could be right Cas, with her being mixed up with Catherine Ellen

For some obscure reason in my tree I have put Mary Evans born c1874 married to William Evans, as Margaret!! But I have the 1901 census with her called Mary?!!!

Maggies maiden name is Williams...

I'll have to check the notes I have from her aunt to see where the middle name of Catherine came from??

Yes, I have copies of certificates.

The marriage:

Henry Parry 19 a bachelor, I think it say's a quarryman, his father Percival Parry. Quarryman?

Ellen Evans 21 a spinster, her father William Evans. Labourer

The marriage was in St. Annes church in Llandegai in the county of Carnarvon.

Witness's were William Baden Powel Evans and Doris Owen???

The birth certificate for 13th May 1902, I have for Ellen says her father was William, a brake man at a slate quarry and her mother Maggie Evans  from 5 ??  Bethesda,

I'm researching my wife's family tree and I'm stuck on Ellen Catherine Evans ancestors

Ellen was born on 13th May 1902, in Llandwrog, Caernarvonshire.

She married Henry Percival Parry in 1923.

I have her parents as William Evans born 1867 in Llandwrog and Margaret Williams born 1874, Llanddeinionlen?? Llandwrog.

I have William's parents as Thomas Evans born 1842 in Llandwrog and Mary Evans born 1847 in Llandwrog.

I have no parents for Margaret Williams though.

Could somebody please confirm I'm on the right track and possibly help me with Margaret Williams parents please?

Thanks in advance

I think Winfred in the census could be Winny Walsh who was married to Daniel McGrory. They had several children in the area.
Ellen is a witness to one of the baptisms in 1863

Thank you.

The witness Jane Hurst was his housekeeper, who was also named on his will
