Rev. Stanley H. Williams was a lovely man.   He died in 1992 in Llys Twrog, Y Fron, this is the house where he was born and later returned to when he semi-retired.

Y Fron is a small village 7 miles outside Caernarfon.  It is in the parish of Llandwrog and was known as Upper Llandwrog, also known as Cesarea at some point. 

Rev. Stanley Williams married us in 1982 in Cesarea Chapel, that Chapel has now been pulled down.

liliwenfach,

Thank you for that; very interesting.

Stanley's parents were Ellis and Jane Williams, nee Griffiths (Bogarad, Llanwnda).  Ellis was born Australia, as was my Nain, his sister.

Stanley's grandparents Wm. Ellis and Elizabeth Williams, lived Meillionydd, Upper Llandwrog (Vron).  I toured the area a couple of years ago and found their home.

 I was fortunate enough to have the help of a cousin  of my father who lived  Penygroes, to find Meillionydd.


Is Llystwrog still standing?

Hi there,
do you mean     -  Is Llystwrog still standing?

yes it is and occupied.

Also - Meillionydd, Upper Llandwrog (Vron) this is spelt  ' Y FRON', I was brought up there, Stanley used to be friendly with my famiy.  I think he had a brother in Australia, a harbour master maybe??? if memory serves me right.

Yes he did; Captain Robert Arthur Williams, his wife was Helina (Lena), and they had three children.  I have been trying to find any descendants of theirs, but as yet have not been lucky!

Your family would probably have know the gentlemen I mentioned 'Llenyn', he was Thomas Elwyn Griffiths, Muriau, High/Water Street, Penygroes - the Griffiths family had a shop attached to the house.

Hi
When I replied to your posting re house picture I hadn't read all of this and so supplied info you already knew.
There are two cemetries adjacent to each other at Carmel. If you go up from Groeslon, as you reach lower part of Carmel, immediately after passing under the high voltage electricity cables, turn left. Pass houses on left, coal yard on right, and short distance further, on the right, is the Community Council cemetry, where Stanley is buried. Adjacent to it is the Pisgah Chapel cemetry, where his parents etc are buried. Both graves are easy to find, being, in both cases, just a few graves in on the right.
In his obituary in the local paper, there is a long list of close family who have  sent flowers. If you don't have this information, and it's of interest to you, I can supply it by PM.
Have you done any research into occupants of Bodgarad ?
According to the C.M. publication Stanley had a science degree.

Emyr,

I don't have details of Stanley's obituary; would very much like to have a copy please.  (I will p.m. my email address).

Stanley's mother, Jane Griffith, lived Bogarad, and her grandmother,  Ellen Roberts also lived Bogarad.

Jane Griffith married Ellis Wm. Williams  1893, he was born Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, as were three of his siblings, one of whom was my nain Elizabeth. Their parents were William Ellis Williams (1837) and Elizabeth  (1847) nee Williams.
The family home from about 1861 was Meillionydd, Upper Llandwrog.  Elizabeth (1847) died there in 1924.

I often wondered how my nain Elizabeth came to meet my taid,Robert Owen Jones.......after visiting Meillionydd ,with the help of a relative, I found that further down that lane was the farm dwelling Ysgubor where the Jones family had lived !!!!


Regards,

Glenys
