I have just come across Henry and Margaret Williams in researching my family history.  My gg grandmother was Elizabeth Williams the sister of Mesach, born in 1846.

Have you been able to trace the family back to earlier generations before Henry and Margaret?

Hello again Clematise
Tracking down my great great grandmother has been real detective work!  I knew from grandmother that she came Rhosneigr to Holyhead when she was 14 and was married by her 17th birthday.  But I didn't know her maiden name and didn't realise that Rhosneigr was Llanfaelog.  So I looked up all 5 Rhosneigr Elinors/Eleanors in the 1841 Anglesey census and found the one that was in Holyhead in 1851.

Once I found William Williams was a joiner it all fell into place.  We still have a chair and a chest of drawers made by him in my family. 

Elinor appears to have been one of 8 children:
Richard 1821, John 1826, Elizabeth 1825, William 1828, Peter 1830, Hugh 1834, Elinor 1836, Thomas 1837.  Their parents were Elizabeth and William Williams, both born in the late 1790s.   

I was interested to read about the lady that's surname was Griffith.  A maternal relative perhaps?

Elinor died in 1926, having had 14 children and 3 husbands.  I have a picture of her in the 1880s but none of her siblings.

Look forward to hearing from you.  By my calculation you must count as a 3rd cousin of my late father's.
