Find Ancestors

Thank you for advice.
I do have doubts on this because of ages.
A contact via genes, descendant from this family, has told me that this Percival 1850 named his son, Percival Langridge Williams born 1882. Obviously a family link somewhere, just not sure where and when.

This is the same family in 1861....Georges age is now 69 giving a yob of 1792....which would fit.

Thanks for this. Ann must be his 3rd wife, confirmed here with the children from Sophia. Had a note that he could have married for a 3rd time to an Ann Gabriel in 1857.
Definately my George, yet age differs from 1851 census, yet children right names and ages.
Hope all can understand why I have been so confused.

Many thanks to all for your help. I am begining to see the light at the end of the tunnel at last. My Williams/Smith branch was causing me nightmares. So many leads, so many wrong paths.

Hi Lady kiri,
Thanks for baptisms for Matilda and Caroline. Matilda is older than I had thought, in fact 11 years older than her husband. On 1851 census, which I know 100% is correct family, shows Matildas age as 25, which is where I got her birth year of 1826. Doubts keep creeping in, but all the paperwork seems to show she is the correct Matilda. It would mean there would have to be 2 George Landgridge Williams and 2 Smith families with father Samuel and daughters Matilda, Caroline and Sophia. Surely unlikely. So confused. I really hoped that I could find someone else with same sisters and father, and check spouses for them., to confirm same as mine.
Thanks again for help. I will keep checking here today for any responses. Yesterday was distracted by another possible link via messages.
