Couldn't everything make a lot more sense if William Richard(s),the husband of Hannah,was the brother of Sophia Priscilla on the 1871 Furnace,Sguborycoed census?He is given as born Talybont as,I think Hannah,s husband is in 1911,if it is him with the Shugars in Pontypridd 1911.There is an apparent couple of years difference,but I'm not sure William(or Lydia Harriet) were ever really traced.This would also put him relatively geographically close to Hannah.

Hi - quick question before I have to go out:

Is there a quick way to find the references you give for the census' apart from scrolling down all the 1911 census' with William Richards in please?

I have a 1911 census which shows Hannah (wife), Jane, Margaret, Dorothy and William J but no sign of William the husband and you mention above that he might be with the Shugars but I can't find that one.

Good morning all -

Roger - I'm pretty sure its him in 1911 - everything fits including number of children and years married and he is living in the same street as they did in previously (1891 ? ).   I tried to trace William and Lidia Harriet; without much success; but it would explain the card mentioning Aunt Cilla .......could Ann (buried with Sophia Priscillat ) be of the same family ? or maybe an aunt to the three children.  

Jaycey - search for William Richards born 1864, Cardiganshire; living in Glamorgan and he should be the second one down.

Hopefully I can put a bit more time to this now-its been manic at work.

hi nestagj,thanks,it was just something that jaycey said about unconfirmed info that william richards remarried.

hi,just to let you know i havent given up on this thread,but still trying to find a birth for elizabeth with sophia priscilla richards as the mother, and it aint easy:-(

[despair]

I haven't given up either.
Did you follow through on osprey's birth reference for Elizabeth Jane Williams
Sept quarter 1883 Dolgelly vol 11b 356?

Looking at the NorthWalesBMD site this is proably the equivalent of

Eliza Jane Williams,Dolgellau,Sub District Barmourth,1883-ref DOLB1/21/E158

and another of interest may be

Lizzie Williams,Dolgellau,Sub District Talyllyn,1885-ref DOLB2/16/E306
(These are the references the local office may use)

Whether they would tell you if either had a mother Sophia,a father Evan(or both!) or any other detail by phone or e-mail I can't say.

General enquiries to the County Council are here(including an e-mail form)

General telepone number is 01766 771000,and I think the number at the Registry Office,Cae Penarlag may be 01341 424386

I have found Gwynedd registrars very ready to try to find certificates when I had very little information to go on.
The number to use is now 01766 771000 as all requests go through the central system but are dealt with by the registrars of the different districts. 
The only drawback is that you have to pay up front but if the certificate can not be found your money is refunded.
