Thomas's brother Robert Hugh Williams is with his sister Jane Barclay and several Owen relatives at Castle Hall in the 1921 census:

I wonder if Castle Hall was a name given to an area as Penmaenmawr increased in size?  Thank you for the census return, I do currently have a FindMyPast subscription so have downloaded it.

I've just bought the death certificate and my grandfather was present at his mother's death on 11 Nov 1918.  I just checked and this was the same date WW1 ended!

I wonder if Castle Hall was a name given to an area as Penmaenmawr increased in size?  Thank you for the census return, I do currently have a FindMyPast subscription so have downloaded it.

I have rechecked the Absent voters and it seems to be a house name on Conway Road, Penmaenmawr.
List goes like this
Castle Hall
Norwood
Cartref
Burleigh House
Bryn Gwynedd
Minydon
Bryn Dinarth
Bryngwynedd Cottage
Bryn Hafod

Here are Norwood and Cartref next to each other on Conwy Road on Google Street

I can't readily see Castle Hall but there seems to be some buildings demolished to the left of Norwood. See this side by side Old Map/Satellite  [the cursor movements match on each side]

I have made a screenshot and circled Norwood/Cartref

That is very interesting.  I wonder how a Widow was able to afford to live there.  That is the address on her death certificate I purchased earlier today.  I hadn't realised it was an actual house name.

I just realised this is the address Castle Hall kindly given by Shaun J from the 1921 census of a few siblings of my grandfather.  Maybe it was a more humble dwelling than those other houses in your photo.

EDIT.  I just checked again and there were 7 people living in 4 rooms.

View the next 6 to 8 images on the Census and you'll see other 'families' for the same address.

The building split into what we would call a House of Multiple Occupancy nowadays?
