I've encountered something of a brick wall and wondered whether anyone out there might be able to remove a little of the mortar so that I can perhaps dislodge the odd header or stretcher.
My grandmother kept house for a Mr Williams of 1 Marian Terrace, Garth, Bangor from (I think) around 1916 until he died some time in the 1930s. He worked for the Penrhyn estate and was also a cabinet maker (possibly amateur but pretty good -- we have two splendid pieces carved in Welsh oak which he crafted). I believe it's "our" William George Williams who is shown on the 1911 Census as Clerk of Works, Penrhyn living at Marian Terrace with his wife Ellen Mary, but haven't any other evidence to back this up.
Mr Williams' younger brother George was a dental surgeon and employed my grandfather after WW1: I understand they met in the Medical Corps and he offered Taid a job after he was demobbed. My grandparents met through the brothers and later lived in the Marian Terrace house.
I believe the Williams brothers may have come from Llanllechid but at present I'm dependent on internet sources for my research as I'm 170 miles from the ancestral home in Bangor! Any hints on places to hunt or scraps of local knowledge would be greatly appreciated as I won't be able to come to the Records Office for some months.
Many thanks
Meryll
