Owen family of Eryri terrace Y Fron
« on: Friday 22 June 12 18:29 BST (UK) »
Does Rowland Owen of 3 Eryri Terrace Y Fron mean anything to anyone.

From the records I have on my grandfather Evan Roberts one of his brothers death certificate states  a cousin Rowland Owen reported the death. From the research I've done so far does not cover this surname. It is possible that it might be on grandfather's mother side of Williams from Rhyd Ddu,Beddgelert.
The death certificate is dated 1938. On checking the BDM I can find a birth for a Rowland Owen in 1895. This would make him aged 43. Any info gratefully accepted.

Rowland Owen , 3 Eryri Terrace, Y Fron was the adopted son of John Daniel Roberts. His biological parents were William Owen, Hen Gapel, Cesarea & Elizabeth Williams from Beddgelert.
Rowland Owen was born on the 6th May 1895 at Hen Gapel & died in 3 Eryri Terrace in 1968. I have failed to find an Obituary but he is buried at Carmel cemetery with his wife Elizabeth J. Hughes. I have a lengthy Obituary for her in 1975.
I can only echo Emyr Borth's comments that his mother died soon after birth & with a large family, he was adopted by close neighbours.
John Daniel Roberts is in my family tree & The Penrhyn Oer, Cesarea family is mentioned in a fascinating article about Upper Llandwrog written by the Rev William Williams, Llanwnda (Einion) in 1910.
