hi, i know his son was john as john was my gggreat grandfather, i have the marriage cert of john williams, he was married on the 2cn feb 1885 aged 19, and it says his father was william williams and he was a collier thats all i know

Do you know any siblings or William williams occupation

i only know of john williams who was born in 1866 and william was a collier

Hi,Thank's for confirming the info.

As you're aware with the name "Williams"..the smallest bit of detail is important to make sure we're all on the right track.

Breconshire is also known as Brecknock

i know cass, and i know its probably like trying to find a needle in a haystack as its such a common name, but thats all i know

it says john williams the son of william the residence at the time of marriage was brynmawr

Hi,Blaenavon and Brynmawr are about 5 miles apart so it looks like the Pontypool/Ebbw Vale area's for looking.


Cass

thanks cass, are you able to look for me

Hi,Yes...i'M looking.

Do you have the marriage cert ? Can you give me his wife's name ?

Cass

What was John's occupation on his marriage cert ?

johns wife was emma cordy but it does not say who williams wife was

johns occupation was the same as his dads collier

johns wife was emma cordy

Hi,1891 census says coal miner @ Upper Coed Cae,Llanover,Blaenavon...so,another clue ?

Cass

Hi could this be John and family in 1901
