Robert Williams Mariner Sunderland
« on: Saturday 05 July 25 18:01 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm looking into my ancestor Robert Williams. He was a mariner born about 1839 in Caernarfonshire. He moved to Sunderland where he married Catherine Ann Morgan. I would really appreciate any help in finding his parents or family, thank you!  :)

Williams is a very common Welsh surname so have  you got his marriage cert to establish his fathers name & occupation?

Have you looked for him on the 1841 & 1851 Welsh census?  All censuses are free to search here

Hi sorry I don't have it, would you recommend me buying it from the GRO or is there maybe another way to find the parents?

The 1851 Welsh census has 63 entries for his name born between 1839 - 1841. 

When did he marry Catherine?

They married 1865 Sunderland.  Unless the marriage cert is online you would have to buy one

In 1871 his birthyear is 1843 but 1839 in 1881.  If he is the Robert Williams who died at sea 1892 his birthyear is given as 1844 birthplace Carnarvon

However - another Robert Williams died in Sunderland 1892 with a birthyear of 1839??
