I am trying to find information on a few Williams relatives.

Oswald Williams (c1890) Married Caroline (c1887)

They had Sons:

Charles Williams (1917) who died in 1938 in a motor cycle accident in Canterbury, Kent.

David Williams (c1918) and Edward Williams (1924) He was born we think in Skenfrith? - Near/on the Welsh Border?

They were also rumoured to have had a daughter that died as a baby/child?

I cant find Charles on any census nor his brothers.....Any info on any of the people listed above will be brilliant!!!!



Please please help! It's driving me mad!!!

I know, Im a Williams by Marriage. The Edward Williams is my Husbands Grandfather. We know very little about that side of the family.As I have sucessfully found many relatives for his mothers side of the family, I was hoping to do the same for the Williams side.

1861 Skenfrith

Robert Williams 52
Ann Williams 46
Richard Williams 26
John Williams 23
Andrew Williams 7

Robert's name was crossed out in the 1871 census but I think that he was probably still alive

George is missing from the household as he's a 9 year old servant in Skenfrith to John Lloyd aged 30.
Note: George's name is spelt Geoarge
