John Williams - Sarah Leonard

[Gadget]

Not sure if you've seen this on the 1851 - HO107/2175 F 328 P 7

Sarah, aged 13, a visitor in the home of Edward Rodgers and family in Birkenhead.

The index has her b. Runton but the image could well be Ruabon or a badly copied one!  This would fit with the 1838 birth reg.  that I found earlier.

Hi Gadget
Thanks for that Birkenhead - Liverpool I will look at that a bit closer.
I Know there are a lot of John Williams I was a while ago reaserching a John Williams from Wrexham area but no relation to each other. My John was a stonemason/builder when he married Sarah and that was his ocupation in Australia, they stayed 10 yrs to help buid Balarat Victoria  into a town. I beleive it was the gold mining area.

Hi Val

Although John Williams isn't on the FreeBMD marriage index with Sarah, I've just checked the full GRO listing and he's there as a match for Sarah

March q, 1858, Liverpool v 8b page 246

HI Val

I think that's the only way with John Williams 

When you get the cert., do get back with the fathers' names and occupations. As I said, I do have access to the Ruabon and Rhosymedre registers (and those of other parishes in the area) and, if the family were Ruabon based, I can have a good look for them

Hi Vall
My great grandfather was John Isaac Williams. he was born in Ballarat, Victoria Australia. His mother was Sarah Leonard and his father was John Williams.
They both came from Ruabon .
Sarah's Mum and Dad where Thomas Leonard and Anne Jones.
John's details have been a little more difficult to obtain and with the help of a professional it seems his family actually came from Chirk. His mum and dad being Sarah and John too.
Are you related to them too?
I would love to share more
Cheers Feathertail

Welcome to Rootschat,  Feathertail 

Now if you'd have waited, you might have not needed the professional as I have all the Chirk records

PS - I've also got a Williams connection in Chirk but it's probably a different family
