If this is the correct line, I am the great grandson of Howell H Williams in the 1871 Census and reside in Blaenafon ... I have been searching the whereabouts of Elizabeth Williams for a long time

I am trying to trace info about John Williams 1835? married to Selina, and father of Elizabeth Williams approx 1857,she married William Layton Wood 1880 in Abergavenny, this information comes from Elizabeth's marriage certificate,according to this she lived at the brickyard in Blaenavon, and John and Selina were the witnesses,I have been unable to find birth certificates for Selina Or John,also no marriage details of John and Selina,this is an amazing site,never fails to help, thanks Mariane

John and Selina were the witnesses

Selina may not be the wife ( or mother) she could be an Aunt , or sister , sister in law or just a friend with the surname WILLIAMS (?)

could be this couple brother and sister in law or sister and brother in law ?
