My father is Francisco Cendejas Hallatt, grandson of Harry Hadfield Hallatt and Dolores Cerdeño Barcenas. I have the birth certificate of Dolores from Spain, born in 1885. I am searching for a marriage date and/or place where they met and got married. Any clues?

Delighted to find your site. It seems my husband John is descended from the brother of Catherine Williams, William Wallace Williams. We're interested to discover how William Williams who married Mary Ann Evans fits with those great seafarers.

Hi Elaine,
From what little I have gathered so far, your husband is more closely related to my wife's family - William Wallace Williams was my wife's great-granduncle's wife's 2nd cousin once removed's wife's uncle!
It is thought that Mary Ann Evans was a convict, but what her crime may have been we don't exactly know. There were a number of Mary (Ann) Evans' transported to Australia so which one, if any, was our Mary we may never know.
I would love to hear more about your husband's ancestors and am happy to add them into The Williams Family Tree.
Kind regards,
Phil.

Hi I am researching Sarah Knight who married John Tooth Oct 15 1765.Williams tree person ID=132549&. I notice you have them in your tree as well. For the life of me I cannot find a connection. Any help would be so good. Thank you for the way your tree is set out and all the information in it. Mine isn't like that at all! Regards Kaye

Hi Kaye,
Thank you for yout kind comments about my tree.
I wouldn't try finding a connection if I were you. It's so convoluted it's hardly a connection at all! If you fancy a real mindbender though, here it is. Sarah Knight was my grandaunt's husband's niece's husband's mother's husband's granddaughter's husband's 2nd great-grandmother!!
Feel free to email me (phil@williamsfamilytree.co.uk) if you would like a full explanation.

I don't know if I am in the right place but I have just received copy of birth certificate for my father. We knew him as Leslie Wadcock, but apparently he was born Leslie Moss. Father John Henry Moss and mother Mary Alice moss ( nee Ogden), The area is Oldham Lancs UK and apparently is listed on the Williams Family Tree. Are we related - and if so what can you tell me. Thanks for your time Sheila Kearns
Admin Reply by: Winks
Hi Sheila,
The relationship to Mary Alice Ogden is via my great aunt Elizabeth Jones. Or rather, her husband Richard Backhouse Satterthwaite. Even then there are Cowards, Townleys, Hayhursts, and Cartwrights before getting to Ogdens.
Your father's birth was registered as Leslie Moss, but in the 1921 Census he is with his adoptive parents Robert Charles and Clara Wadcock. Clara's maiden surname was Ogden but where she fits in I have yet to find out.
Email me (phil@williamsfamilytree.co.uk) if you would like me to examine this in greater details.
Cheers,
Phil.

My great grandmother was Jesse Wates (I29094). One of her sons, William Lester Dingman, was my grandfather.
He married Edna Fern Couthurst and had 3 children. My mother Irene Edna Elizabeth Antoinette Ruth Virginia Dingman was born Oct. 11, 1924 in Buffalo, NY (d. JUL 11, 1994 in Toronto, Canada).she had a brother, Robert and a sister Fern.
The family gets complicated with divorces, child abandonment, secret affairs, involvement in the criminal underworld, like a Mickey Spillane novel

Hi, I'm tracing my grandmother, Jessie Prattley. I think John's father was Jonathan Pratley b. Leafield d. Hailey (both Oxfordshire) 1864. And his mother was Amelia Wilks b. 1789 d. 1836. Married 2nd November 1811 at Shipton-under-Wychwood. Jonathan married again in 1836 to Mary Stiles and had a son, William, in 1841. The fact that John had a daughter called Amelia is presumably a tribute to his mother. Let me know if you think this is wrong and good luck to you.

Hi Christopher.
Many thanks for your message.
I have been unable to find a record for a Jessie Pratley. I have sent you an email asking for more information.
The Pratley family are linked to the Simmonds and Boots family. The latter belonging to my "Uncle Bill" (William Howard).
Kind regards,
Phil Williams.

For the past 55 years I have been researching my family tree, have read all your guestbook entries, but still no connection. Why do my searches of Mary Pumfrey and William Thorpe come up on the Williams tree. I can find no connection to Williams
Admin Reply by: Winks
Hi Anne,
Quite simply, The Williams Family Tree has many branches and has grown outwards as well as up and down.
Less simply, William Thorpe and Mary Pumfrey were my ex-wife's great uncle's wife's 2nd cousin once removed's wife's 2nd cousin's wife's 3rd great-grandparents!
I can send you a complete breakdown if you care to email me.

Hi I have recently acquired a portfolio folder of architectural drawings once belonging to Thomas Llewellyn Daniel including collage work, plans for house in Aberdovey, Ilford, and other buildings as well as a lot of drawings including plans for his gravestone !!!! if you want copies before i sell them please let me know cheers Tony
Elizabeth Harris nee Moule b. Fremington 1770 was my 4x great grandmother.
Several descendants relocated to the Swansea and Neath areas in Glamorgan. Moule was in several instances used as a middle name.
Elizabeth's grand daughter was Agnes Moule Stote nee Lance b. 1841 Barnstaple d. 1926 Swansea. She married into the Stote family, an old mariner family from Port Eynon in the Gower.

I10367 Charles Yeo, was my husband's grandfather. I have additional information about him that may be of interest to you. I am interested in finding out how the Yeo's are connected to the Williams Family Tree.
Admin Reply by: Winks
Hi Maryann,
This branch of the Yeo family is no longer part of The Williams Family Tree. We thought there was a connection to our Yeos but this has not been proven - yet!
So, we have removed this branch (and many others) from the main tree in an effort to reduce the overall size.
Your Yeo family tree is, however, still maintained and you can find it here:
https://williamsfamilytree.uk/wt/index.php?route=%2Fwt%2Ftree%2Fjohn_yeo
So, by all means send me any information you care to share and I will add it to the John Yeo tree.
Kind regards,
Phil Williams.
