Thread: Owens. Evans and Jones families in Holyhead

I'm not too sure if I am on the right board here so if I aren't please let me know and I can move it



Well I have been away from my family research for quite a while as we have been so busy but we are now coming up to the end of our summer season and my "Family Research time" is about to start again. Roll on November lol



Anyway i have been going through my papers and scraps of paper and notes and emails that I have had over the past few months. I now have a few more bits of info that might be able to help in my search but I need help to figure out what to look for and what not to



So I will start at the beginning

Richard (1908) is my Grandfather and he married Annie Griffith and had 4 children. he died in 1955



Will (1910) married Hilda and had 3 children. He is supposed to have gone to Liverpool when he was 13 and lived with a relative there. This could have been Agnes. Will died in 1974 in Liverpool

There has also been talk of Peter and Pauline or Pamela who were in the family.



Well I think I have all the details on here now and just need to figure out where to start

Hi Carol



I'd get a big sheet of paper, start with yourself and work backwards through the generations.



You seem to have lots of info, I'd try to keep it simple, at least at the start.



Have fun, John

Thanks John



I seem to have all the details I need for the main line - it's just the brothers and sisters in each generation that i need to work on. Was hoping maybe someone had links to any of these people from what I have listed here.



Should take me a while but will keep everyone up to date as I go along with any new info I get

Hello Carol

Hiya Carol, am glad you are doing the Welsh side, it is very much a headache lol. Right back to my Lewis/ Rimmer side. Loves ya, see ya soon, scousemouse xxxx

Hi Carol - John's advice is good - identify your gaps working backwards and then ask for help with them as necessary - one at a time usually gets the best response!

Good luck!
