WILLIAMS of Abergavenny.

I've assembled a database of WILLIAMS events in Abergavenny (mainly Birth/Marriage/Death/Census Returns, but some Wills/Trade Directories/School Records, etc., as well) going back to the 1500s. There are now about 4700 entries in the database, which is ordered by YEAR:NAME:EVENT:SOURCE. If you are interested in WILLIAMS in Abergavenny, e-mail me (details on my Home Page) and I can do a quick look-up for you, and usually supply the source reference as well.

Here's a very basic outline of my Abergavenny WILLIAMS line, as far as I've managed to get so far (and I've been at it, on and off, for 30 years). It's a nightmare trying to research WILLIAMS in Wales - not so much a needle in a haystack, but more like hay in a haystack. Although I've been very careful, it's inevitable that there are some minor errors lurking around.

My direct line is in blue.
