Roberts and Owens family

[johneowens]

I own a clock by Owen Owen handed down through my family from Garston. My understanding is that Owen Owens operated as a clockmaker in Garston/Liverpool but only for a year or 2 c1850-1.

Do you think this is the same person?

Hi

I think that there is a strong possibility that there is a link.  Owen Edward Owens was a clock maker from Amlwch in Anglesey.  He died in March 1857.  There does appear to be  a family link to Garston in Liverpool.  In fact Owen Edward's son Owen William Owens, who was my husbands great grandfather eventually settled in Garston.  We have been able to locate most of the baptisms of Owen Edward Owens children in the Amlwch Parish Register.  The one that I have still to locate is that of Owen William Owens who was born in August 1850.  If the family where living in Garston rather than Amlwch at that time, it may explain the absence of the entry.
