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?

As a child I holidayed in Anglesey and I recall a murder in Red Wharf Bay in the late 40s. Can you shed any light on this?

Cae Merddyn, where my family lived on Penmon, was a property within the Bulkeley estate and rented from the Bulkeley family estate.
 
I remember my father saying that his father Charles Goodman Roberts, was a gardener at the Bulkeley mansion,  Baron Hill. Parallel to the main road from Menai Bridge to Penmon, there was a high stone wall behind which Charles had planted Poplar Tree shrubs. I wonder if they are still there?
Can you help please?

I was wondering if you could help me. I have been told by family members that our family tree can be traced back to Prince Llywelyn. My mother's maiden name was Williams, her father's name was Richard David d.o.b. 1877 he was the youngest of 12 children. His parents were David born 1825 in Llantwit Major and Frances Price born 1832 in Llanmaes Llantwit Major. David's parents John born 1799 in Lanblethian Glamorgan and Sina Jones born 1805 in Ystradowen Glamorgan. John's parents were called Thomas and Eleanor but I don't have any dates for them.
I have seen the Llywelyn tree on your site and thought you might be able to help.
 
Can you help please?

I have been very interested in your web site. 
 
There is a plaque in a wall of a church in Anglesea, Parish of Westmoreland, Jamaica to a Rowland Williams of Penmon which is undated but could be c 1700.  There seems to be too much of a coincidence that this Rowland or his forebears might have gone to Jamaica from Penmon.  Do you know if there is anyone with a Williams from Penmon Genealogy as I would like to have got in touch?
 
The letter regarding the Rowland Williams (see PENMON NOSTALGIA - A letter from 1890) and the church I believe is a little muddled as the Williams of Anglesea who owned the plantation when the slaves got their freedom was one Joseph Stone Williams and he left the estate to my 3xgt grandfather Theodore who was vicar of Hendon. Theodore and Joseph were brothers and a Rowland William's gt gt grandsons.
 
Can you help please?
