Seamaiden, >> My line goes through a William Williams of St Briavels, His father was Richard Williams born around 1774, died pre 1851 married 22/10/1794 Hannah Pead 1773 to 1850. I have never been able to conclusively find the birthplace of this Richard born around 1774. One line took me to Whitchurch (unlikely) the other towards the Williams of Tiddenham . I post this because this Richard and Hannah had 8 children, Richard x2, John 1803,George 1806, William 1810, Thomas 1814 and Hannah 1817 and a Joseph that I have as born 1797, baptised around 1798. These were all baptised at St Briavels but not known birth village for sure. Researching Williams is like trying to find a needle in a haystack as so many Williams all possibly interrelated, Little bits of info like we have posted may not actually be directly connected BUT often eliminate a line of possible research that leads to hours of wasted effort .

Nb I have tried to highlight surnames in bold, will be interested to see if actually shows in bold on Forum and not {b}
