I hit paydirt with one of my lines this morning when I got an 1836 will which gave me four siblings of my wife's ggg-gradfather, since then I have been looking for William Evans Williams b abt 1800 in Tenby. I think I have him on the 1871, mis transcribed as William Emma Williams, but a look at the original will tell you why - as will the other transcribed names!! I could really use some help deciphering the whole of the entry - from the address through to the occupations!! I would bet that John's third christian name is Philipps (family name and damn the spelling) but the enumerator must have been drunk as well as illiterate!!! Thanks in advance Peter |

Right lot, but if you look at the names closely the wife is Mary Williams - and the others don't match what the person who did the index transcription says.....as in John Greenen Bellep is (I am sure) John something Phillip......... Peter |

Just a thought could it be some sort of farm / dairy - he has sevants one of whom seems to a dairy maid and one who seems to be a farm servant. Esta |

I'd agree with you on his wife's name and the Johns 3 rd name is Phillip !! The writing is terrible to read...!!...Will be back later to see how you get on. Good Luck Try 1881 for more clues Esta |
