This essay is a supplement and correction to FelRh009 & 018. It begins in 1809 with the marriage of Margaret Prichard and David Williams and ends indefinitely with the problem of what happened to Margaret Pritchard.
The parents We see the story of the young Margaret Pritchard, before her marriage, in another essay, (FelRh016Rhydddu). How and where did she meet Dafydd Williams we can only guess? Young couples meet by chance- somewhere, sometime and somehow and as evidence, I am writing this note ! The marriage is noted in St Mair’s church Beddgelert record book as follows : - “27.1.1809 by Banns David Williams, single, of the parish of Llanddwywe (Dyffryn Ardudwy) with Margaret Richards, single.” – a Friday.! We deduce that Dafydd Williams was aged 24 yrs old and Margaret was 30 yrs old in 1809. According to the baptismal records at Llanfrothen and Penrhyndeudraeth their eight children were born at three different abodes in the Croesor area, between 1810 & 1820 as follows:-
The children Baptismal dates
19.5,1810 (31yrs) Lowry William daughter of David Williams at Garregfawr (9625 431 ) and Margaret his wife (was it Garreg Fawr or Hafoty Garreg fawr? We do not know)
22.9.1811 (32 yrs) William son of David Williams at Garreg Fawr & Margaret his wife.
26.9.1813 ( 34yrs) Richard son of David Williams & Margaret Richards, (Ha)Fotty (603 433) Labourer.
7.1.1816 (37yrs) Griffith ditto Ty Newydd Cae Glas (626 457 ) Labourer.
15.5.1817 (38yrs) Margaret dau. ditto
The above 5 children were recorded at St Brothen’s Church and the last 3 were recorded in a register book of Capel Bethel, Llanfihangel y Traethau (PenDD) (1813 – 1937)
29.8.1818 (39) John ditto born 19.8.1818 and Bap. At Ysgol y Wern, Llanfrothen
22.1.1820 ( 41) Twins Daniel & David - ditto born 20.1.1820

The first dates given are the baptismal and not the birth dates. We can assume that the children would be baptised when they were a month or two old. The age in ( ) is the age of the mother at the time of birth. Note that the family were at home at Garreg Fawr/ Hafoty up to 1815 and at Ty newydd Caeglas from 1815 to at least 1821/2, when their father died.
There is evidence that the family might have been living at Buarth Gwyn about 1837 see marriage of Laura and William – marriage certificate.
