My great X 4 grandfather was a man named William Williams (1751-1828). He had an interesting sounding career as the "Controller of Anglesey". Essentially, he was the Customs and Excise agent for HM King George III. He left a fair amount of property. His son was the Rev. Robert Williams for St. Mary's and St. Nicholas, (1779-1826). His three younger, lifelong spinster sisters, Anne Jane, Margaret and Susannah-Elizabeth Williams, had a number of properties left to them.
One was in the centre of Beaumaris, between 33-38 Wexham Street, I believe. These three sisters also had properties referred to as being tenement farms in Llandonna, but which I think fell within the village of Penmon . The names of these were: Ty Mawr (Big House?), and Ty Newydd (New House?) respectively.
I note in your Census transcriptions that you have a Ty Newydd (with a series of Williams-es living there) and a Bryn Mawr. Could these be one and the same? If so, I'd be interested if anyone could tell me the history of these properties.
Further, my great-great grandfather, the Rev. Wm Lloyd Williams, b. Beaumaris 1808, died Llanberis 1873), had a brother named Robert Williams, who evidently sold him a share of his property in Llandonna referred to as "Tan y Bryn". Would you happen to know anything about it?
Likewise, the widow of my third great grandad (the Rev. Robt Williams), whose name was Anne Elizabeth (nie Allen), 1781-1854, lived out her last two decades as a widow on a 50-acre portion of farmland in Llandegfan, referred to in the 1851 Census as "Pen-y-Park". Is there any chance
that this is the same as the Pen Park or Penmon Park that is refer to in this website? I'd be interested to know.
Can you help please?
