Hi Val

ARe these a different family?

If Sarah Roberts' mother was Mary Roberts, it might well be that Mary wasn't married.

If I get time, I'll check later today to see if my records have them. Otherwise it will have to be in a week's time. I'm pretty busy at the moment.

Did you get the marriage cert :

Hi
No same famly John Williams born c1804 was John Isaac 1859 Ballarat Grandfather he married a girl called Sarah Roberts in c1826 at Chirk Green. We know the mother was Mary Roberts as she was listed as on 1851 Wales cencus as 76 a widow living with John and Sarah. John and Sarah had 8 children including John Williams who married Sarah Leonard and father and mother of John Isaac Williams who married Elizabeth Sharpe. Did not need cert in the end as all fell into place with a bit of help from feathertail who had a lot of info and as myself had and all matched up. We are stuck with John Williams and Sarah Roberts though.

Also have you heard of a Bron Heilick Hall near Chirk as this was said to have belonged to the Williams Family.

Thanks
Val

Hi
It could be but in document I have its written as I have it but that could be wrong. It was a large old Regency building up a long drive.

It is likely to be Brynkinalt, although it is older than Regency. Apart from Chirk Castle and New Hall, there aren't any other buildings in Chirk which match your description.

I was born and grew up in the area for the first 18 years of my life and visited my parents regularly until my mother died 10 years ago.

It was owned by the Trevors:
