morris/jones family - Beaumaris, Biwmares, Biwmaris
Looking for any info on Emma Morris baptised January 25th in Beaumaris i have got her baptism record. Her parents were Robert and Ellin Morris,Robert was a Saddler according to the Baptism record.
Emma then went on to marry William Jones this could either have been in Beaumaris or Tranmere. On the censuses it discribed William as being a Mariner born in Beaumaris and that is all i know about William except that he was the father of my g/g/grandfather Robert Morris Jones who was born in 1848 at Rockferry Cheshire.
If anyone could help by doing some look ups or knows anything at all about this Family i would be more than grateful.

MISSING PLAQUE - Black Bridge
My uncle William was killed by a train in Holyhead in 1910.My older brother says he can recall seeing a plaque with the name 'Pilling' on it in the 1960s but cant remember where.
Is there anyone who has any knowledge of such a plaque.
We have detailsof his death (aged 24) and knowing that there was a plaque would close a chapter on our family tree.
We also know that he played for a 'local' cricket team.

Two links to Bodedern - Bodedern
My gt gt grandfather was William WILLIAMS of Conway, who appears to have married a Margret UNKNOWN from Bodedern while working on the Menai to Holyhead railway in the late 1840s. Their son Robert WILLIAMS (b Conway 1845) then married Laura PRICHAD b Bodedern 1846. In 1855/56 Laura completed a sampler, a picture of which is on my site at www.bramhill.net.
William Williams 1818 and Margret 1819 had children Robert 1845, Thomas 1847, Cathrin 1850, Elizabeth 1850 (married John Henry Roberts - and we have descendants on this tree), Margret Jane 1852, and William 1855.
Robert married twice Laura Prichad from Bodedern, and then Margaret Roberts from Holyhead/Newborough. Full family tree available. Children with Laura were Edward 1867 (Bodedern), Robert 1868 (Holyhead) Owen 1871, and Margaret Alice. I have a limited descendants tree for Margaret Alice.
Robert then married Margaret formerly Williams nee Roberts, who already had a son John H Williams 1885 Holyhead by her first husband. Robert and Margaret then had two girls, Anne Ellen 1892 Holyhead and Eliza Jane 1898 Newborough.
Can anyone tie into this? If you are from the States/Canada please be aware of the huge number of Williamses, Robertses, Joneses and Prichards in this area!
