« on: Friday 04 March 11 22:45 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for information on David Griffith Williams he was born in 1837 in Dolyddelen he was married to Mary Williams born about 1835.  They lived in Blaenau Ffestiniog at Tanymarion, Church Street. I do not know what Marys surname was before she married.  Their son Griffith David Williams was my Grandfather and he lived in Chester.

Angus (Forfarshire) / mars training ship

When we visited Dundee my Father always  remarked on how he was on board a ship anchored in the bay. He called it the 'borstal ship' but I am wondering if this is also the Mars Training ship.

The little boy in the picture is Henry Pettie.  Very much alive, although he does look strange but I have a picture of him later and he is fine.

The first picture was taken at a studio by William Ferris.

The lady in the first picture if she was the Mother of the second lady died in 1903 at the age of 60

The little boy or boys can either be half brother and brother or the same boy.

This is a picture of either the lady in the above picture or her daughter. It would have been taken in 1904 could the boy on the end in the sailor suit be the same boy in the above picture or is it a different one.  The above picture could have been taken in 1899.

Sorry I did not put any information but I was not sure I could get it to post. The picture is of a little boy whose age I do not know. Could he be about 7. The lady do you think she is in mourning and also would you think it was Father and daughter. If that is his wife she would be around 60 if the daugher around 34.

When I eventually find the list I am looking for I will post it. This may help others date photos. Just wish I knew where it was perhaps it was in one of my genealogy magazines.
