William J Williams Lookup Please?
« on: Thursday 10 August 06 18:52 BST (UK) »
Hello

I may have found my g-g-grandfather, but I can't access all the info.

Can anyone help me?  I'm especially interested if this WJ Williams married Annie (surname unknown) who was born in Maryland.

Appreciate all the help I can get - I've hit a wall with him, but MAYBE this is the one!!

Name:  William John Williams
 
Birth:  year - city Breconshire Wales
Death:  dd mm 1885 - city Lyons Kansas USA
Parents:  Evan J Williams, Evan J surname 
Spouse:  name surname 

this is from ancestry.co.uk from a oneworld tree.  I can't sign up even for the free trial, because my credit card won't get approved (financial probs at the mo').

Looking forward to any info!

Kind Regards,
Renée

Hi Renee.S
I suppose most of us have done that at some stage .
The death you have and place of death is right for this person according to the tree. Just the name of his spouse is different. Unless she died and he remaried

Well, I'm pretty sure they married in 1885 in the US;  could be Maryland, Kentucky, Illinois or Pennsylvania.  It was a shot in the dark really, but I'm stuck at finding out where he actually came from.

I know for sure he was born in August 1861, emmigrated to the US (according to records) in 1880 and their first child was born around 1886.

Thanks again Ricky.  Much apprciated!
