Please could anybody try and find this family on any of the censuses: Stephen Williams (born abt 1850), his wife Elizabeth Williams (nee Rees, born abt 1850). I know they had a son, Eustace Williams, born 1869 in Cardiff. Any help would be great please, Andy

Jess, the one you have found fit's in with names I have been given. The '1850' birth dates are just pure guesswork, it could have been earlier but not much later going by Eustace's birth year.

I think that 1901 Eustace may be this one, in which case his parents seem wrong...... 1881 Charles H. WILLIAMS Head M Male 40 Oystermouth, Glamorgan, Wales Mariner Lizzie WILLIAMS Wife M Female 39 Oystermouth, Glamorgan, Wales Evelina A. WILLIAMS Daur Female 11 Oystermouth, Glamorgan, Wales Eustace C.W. WILLIAMS Son Male 8 Oystermouth, Glamorgan, Wales Ada E.L. WILLIAMS Daur Female 7 Oystermouth, Glamorgan, Wales Charles John WILLIAMS Son Male 5 Oystermouth, Glamorgan, Wales Allan WILLIAMS Son Male 3 Oystermouth, Glamorgan, Wales Merry

Merry, that does look right and you have raised a puzzle about the parents. The Lizzie of course still fits, as short for Elizabeth but the Stephen bit?! I'm just going to look again where I got that info from.... Andy

It was written down by my mother-in-law and so isn't a 100% reliable source. Merry, I think I need to look some more into the family you have found and see if I can confirm your Charles as the father and head. Charles stayed in the family for many generations so I am confident it is correct. Thanks, Andy
