Just wondering if anyone can help at all with a certain brick wall of mine? Robert Thomas (a joiner) was marrried to Catherine Roberts on 15th May 1840. Robert was a widow and resident of Dwygyfylchi. He gives his father as being Thomas Williams, a joiner. (i believe this to be my first encounter with patrynomics) On subsequent census returns he gives his birthplace as llanllechid. Robert was married three times in total. I do not know the name of his first wife but his third was Margaret ? of llansantffriad, Denbighshire. (he outlived her too!) i have looked at the baptisms register for llanllechid during arecent visit to Caernarfon R.O without success. Could the llnallechid reference indicate the llanllechid parish and if so, how many possible settlements would i be looking at needing to examine registers for? If anyone can help here, or better still point my Robert out to me I would be enternally grateful. Yours hopefully......... Glyn

I can check on this when I return home to California, if no one has given you the information before this time. I have it written in my book I carry to Wales. I can tell you there were many chapels in the area. I'm not sure how many churches, there was one on Gray Street, and then on Ogwen Terrace (high street), there is Glanogwen, I believe the main and largest church.

I forgot, my great great grandmother was Eliza Catherine Roberts, b. Llandegai, father Hugh Roberts, b. Llanllechid. Family is still in Llanllechid.
