With him were his sisters Ann Elizabeth, 10, Scholar, Mary, 8, Scholar, Margareta (sic), 5, Scholar, Lizze (sic), 4, Scholar, and . All the children were recorded as having been born in Aberdovey, Merionethshire. Also present was servant Elizabeth Davies, 22, General Servant from Borth, Cardiganshire. Visiting the family were his uncle John Davies, 35, Master Mariner from Borth, Cardiganshire, aunt Amelia Davies, 25, from Carnarvon, cousin David Davies, 4, Scholar born Aberdovey, Merionethshire, and cousin Jane Ann, 1, born Carnarvon.

      From the 1881 Census (RG11 Piece 5478 Folio 50 Page 21) Owen, 10, was with his mother Elizabeth, 42, a Sailor's Wife, at Church Street, Towyn, Merionethshire, Wales. His father was busy in Milford Haven aboard the 'Olive Branch'. With him were his siblings Annie Elizabeth, 20, a General Servant, Mary, 18, a Dressmaker, Scholars David John, 8, Susannah, 6, and Jane Ellen, 4, along with Thomas Owen, 2, and my Taid, John Davies, 2 months.

      In 1883, at the age of 13, according to Lewis Lloyd in 'A Real Little Seaport' (ISBN 1 874786 48 8), Owen was Boy aboard the schooner Olive Branch - his father was Boatswain and Purser at the time. The vessel sailed from Swansea to Tunis, etc. and then on to St. John's Newfoundland. The wage was 5 shillings a month and when Owen was discharged at Liverpool on 28th March 1883 he had earned himself 2 shillings!

Thank You

I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to The Williams Family Tree database over the years and to those who continue to do so.

I am very grateful for every piece of information whether it be a name correction, a photograph, a copy of a certificate, some biographical information or a whole data file.

The Project

Initially, the Williams family from Aberdovey was the main target of research.
