William Harry (Henry) Williams

[Little Jim]

fantastic photo (do you know who is who?  )

There is a record of them marrying in Newport (Monmouthshire) district in March Quarter of 1861.

Do you have them on the UK census in London for 1861 and 1871? (Just so I know its the right family did they have Mary, Frank, Emily, Alice and Naomi all before 1871?) and did they leave the UK before 1881?

They give his birth place as Newport, Monmouthshire and her birth place as Livon Avon (or something like that),  again Monmouthshire.

going on his occupation it looks like him in 1851 @ Ebenezar Terrace, St Woolas, Monmouthshire (HO107 2452 39 6)
