Hi Gwyn,I've given you the web address,but I just type in Hugh Wallis and it should come up.
What you want is where it says country,go to Wales,and then Merioneth,and then it goes onto the initial letter of the town/village.
It makes it easier to section off the different areas than the ordinary IGI does.
Hope I have explained it OK.
Pm me if you have any difficulty.

I have found a Jane Lloyd on Hugh Wallis site,born in Llanfrothen 1825.

Have you looked on his site?

It is very possible that a Lloyd married a Lloyd,as my friend was one who never changed her name.
Remember that Llanfrothen is only a little village,and though they didn't move around much,and tended to inter-marry,I would look up,say Porthmadog,Penrhyndeudreuth,Minfordd,Blaenau Ffestiniog.
I think it is unlikely to be Caernarvon,as this is a bit far.
Llanfrothen is quite near Port Merion where the Prisoner was made,and William Clough Ellis,the designer and owner of Port Merion lived in Llanfrothen.

Don't know if this helps,but I would advise you to look closer than Caernarvon as I know that these village people didn't venture far as a rule.

I have the same problem with my g.g.gran who was called Williams!

I had a look at the 1881 census and the family had a Laura.

I wonder if this is her birth registration and the middle name could be a clue to her mother's maiden name?


Births Dec 1872

Lloyd Laura Williams Ffestiniog 11b 408

It is on Ancestry....Do you have a subscription?

I think we are looking for a marriage with a Ffestiniog registration....That covers the parish where Jane was born....and is buried...so is the most likely area for the wedding.

When was the eldest child born? Perhaps we can find the most likely timescale.


There are these Janes born about the right time showing on the 1841 census in Llanfrothen......


Jane Edward abt 1828 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Edward abt 1827 Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane J Evan abt 1828 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Humphrey abt 1830 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Rees abt 1828 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Rowland abt 1827 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Thomas abt 1828 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane William abt 1830 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Williams abt 1830 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Gwyn where do you get the 1891 census please

Gwyn in Kent

Gwyn in Kent Report 5 Oct 2007 09:27

No she won't feature in the normal lists of bmd lists because she was born before civil registration started in 1837.

Maybe she will be in the Llanfrothen area in 1841 census....with her parents.

I have looked on ancestry an nothing in births for jane lloyd or jane jones born in 1829

Gwyn in Kent

Gwyn in Kent Report 5 Oct 2007 09:21

This looks like them in 1891.

As the couple were from Merionethshire, it is unlikely that they married in Pembroke.
