At same time (because I am still learning this) I very much slowere think I have found their entry in 1881 wales census at 5 Rallt Wen Abergele - shows Miriam as 38 and John at 51 with Bessie, Mary, Emma and Martha.
Can't tell you how grateful I am!

I will keep on the look out for the Williams family when I am looking for mine...needles haystacks come to mind lol

However I think the only way to go now is to order the marriage cert of William Williams and Mary Jane Davies.

You can order online at http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ it will cost £7.

Linda,
I don't know how to say thank you enough!
I really appreciate what you have done and set me on the way - fantastic.
I will get the certificate and go from there.
Incidentally, I have a feeling that Mary jane is missing from 1901 census because she may have already been married! The reason I say that is my Great grandad (the one I started trying to find in the first place - William Williams) had at least one child - my grandfather Walter Glyn in 1903 and I don't think he was the eldest.
Thanks Again
bob
