Search of the IGI for Richard Williams in Wales

Search executed on 3/11/2002.


We have a birth place and year for Richard taken from his gravestone: Montgomeryshire in 1814.  Searching LDS's International Genealogical Index (IGI) for ALL Richard Williams' in Montgomeryshire, who were christened or born in 1814 or 1815, only yielded one candidate, since we must throw out listings that are not from Congregational or Independent churches, as I have strong evidence Richard was a staunch Independent:

   1*   Richard WILLIAMS - M Christening: 18 Mar 1815 - Graig Independent, Machynlleth

This listing seems probable, since Richard's first wife Jane Tudor came from the same parish.  It seems so many of the Welsh found in the same location in America came from the same location in Wales. From a letter, we now know Richard had a brother, William, one at least another brother and two sisters. We find a William in the listing below. An examination of the records show that Richard, William, and Morris had the same parents. This would suggest the parent's names to be JOHN WILLIAMS and JANE OWENS.


Searching this parish using the names of the father and mother for this Richard yield:

Machynlleth, Montgomery, Wales

For now, this information will only be used for keeping names in mind when researching Richard in the USA.


An exhaustive search

For future research purposes, I then used the father's full name and the mother's first name of this Richard Williams' to do a Montgomeryshire-wide search of all children whose parents had these names.  This excludes the Machynlleth information above.
