Hi nerys,
First of all, Thank you for replying to me. I (if you are who I`m looking for) have information regarding your family history.
I have been researching the name "IVOR WILLIAMS" I have reason to believe he lived at henblas farm abergele, Can you please confirm we are talking about the same person/family ? are you a family member to MR Ivor Williams ? who lived in abergele in the 1980`s if so, then please contact me ! I will explain everything.

thank you so much for your reply and I hope to speak to you soon.

My name is Rob winstanley I live in prestatyn, Denbighshire.

Ferreter and Owler makes no sort of sense as an occupation, however.

I don't see why not Mike, could it not just be what he was doing at that particular time ?  I have a chap who was an ag.lab all his life except in one census where he says 'carting hay'.

If rats can keep someone in full-time employment, then why can't wild rabbits and rodents, at least for a month or two  ;D ;D

Apart from the fact that it clearly doesn't say either Ferreter or Owler, and there is no such occupation as Owler, no reason, I suppose.  ;D

Just been reading through this interesting thread...and I think the point being made about Ivor Williams is that we can't publicly discuss living persons here.

Private messaging is another matter :)
