Ooh Christina - that looks promising. It would also explain why Rachel is shown as Llewellyn in all but the 1841 census! Definitely not his step-mother - Thomas' father was also a Thomas. I'll follow this up!
Thanks

Perhaps Ann was a sister in law, or step mother of Thomas?

The Breakspear money didn't get to my part of the family either - a brewery - still on the go, and a biscuit factory now Huntley and Palmers!!!

I think in the old censuses Llanedarn = Llanedyrn. Yes I think the Cryws Hotel is still there... unfortunately the money is long gone and didn't filter down to me :-(

Course I can - WW2 I hasten to add

Would that be Llanedeyn rather than Llandern?

Crwys Hotel is still there I believe - think it's on Crwys Road

Thomas my gg grandfather was born in Roath as far as I can glean. Ann born Lisvane. So could be siblings....

Thomas in 1861 was a farmer of 22 acres in Llanedarn

By 1871 he was an Innkeeper in Spring Gardens Roath. He owned the Crwys Hotel as well

You can't remember the war Ann??!! :-D

The DVLA in Llanishen is just about to close :-(

When I lived on Thornhill Road - during the war there was a Llewellyn who had farm on that road - Ivor Llewellyn, Llanishen Fach Farm but never heard of Duffryn Farm perhaps it had been renamed as I knew all of the farms in the area

Kibbor if I remember rightly was in the next village - Lisvane

Not convinced about this Elias angle...I think it must be Ellis - fits with Edmund Williams having an uncle Edward Ellis. But HOW?????? Common-sense says Daniel's mother is either Miriam or Sarah Williams....but without finding a GRO how can I prove it aaaggghhh????? ;-)

I have got lots on Moses and Jane - Thomas LL is actually Thomas Llewellyn Williams. What I am trying to determine is whether Ann - the mother - is related to Thomas my gg grandfather.

And then to try and find any info on the births of the Williams children to see if I can find a father - and if so, why Ann remained a Llewellyn while all the children were Williams'.

To find Daniel's parents would be a bonus - but I can't find a birth for him. Don't think it is the Elias birth 'cos I can find him at other censuses....

Yes Ann that's the census I posted ...comes up as Elies. But I thought it was probably Ellis. Whilst pottering have found 1861 census for Edmund Williams with an uncle Edward Ellis...is Llanishen where the DVLA place is?

In 1853, Moses marries Jane Llewellyn, the daughter of Thomas and Jane.

I will be getting some certificates in due course; I thought to try marriage of Moses and Jane and, maybe one of the birth certificates of Jane's younger brothers to make sure that Jane (the mother) was indeed an Evans!

In the meantime, I am stumped. Is Ann a relative of Thomas? Why are the children called Williams? Who is Daniel Elies (probably Ellis). I have not been able to find a GRO index for him or anything elsewhere for any of the other Williams children.

As ever any help (very) gratefully received! :-)
