( 19.5.1810 - ? ) ref FelRh009
Lowri was the daughter of Margaret Pritchard and David Williams, Ty Newydd Cae Glas, Croesor. She was born at Garreg Fawr (625 431) and baptised on the 19.5.1810 at Llanfrothen Church. At the same time, J.R.Jones , Ramoth lodged at Garregfawr. She was their first born and her siblings were William Davies( 1811 – 1893) (Bryn Derwen); Richard (1813 – 1882) (Holyhead); Griffith Davies(1), (1816 – 1891 ) (Felenrhyd); and Margaret ( 1817 - ?).
We have not yet found any details of her marriage, family nor death.
Janet Elson (Brynderwen) gives the following account:-
“I have a record of daughter Laura ( i.e. daughter Lowri of MP & DW & eldest sister of WD,RD,GD (1) &MD). I understand she lived at Dyffryn Clwyd and had two children, Maggie and John ( Roberts?). The latter lived at Llwyni. Maggie had a daughter, Laura, who kept a hotel at Chester “
Sarah and Mag, Penrhyn mentioned that there was a family at Dyffryn Clwyd somewhere– “Teulu Plas ‘SIORS’”! - they called them. Laura Mary, their sister, used to visit them when she was a nurse at Llangwyfan hospital, during the 2nd war. They were not certain how they were related- may be second cousins – to whom? They were ‘cefnog’ – wealthy farmers? and that Aunty Laura, Fflint used to visit them also. They did not know how ‘SIORS’ was spelt ; they had only heard their mother mention it. They thought Siors was a version or corruption of George. When ‘one of them’ died Aunty Maggie, Croesor? made enquiries about ‘his/her’ will!! This is all the information we have about Lowri – so far.
Notes and queries.
1. Around the Ruthin, Denbigh & Henllan area there are many places called Plas or Hall. We see Plâs Chambres (048 680) ; Llwyn Ynn Hall (133 533); and Lleweni Hall (082 685). These may be Plas Siors or Llwyni.
2. A rough trawl of the 1881 census did not reveal the family – short on names and dates – only John Roberts?
3. We have no idea when and why Laura ‘emigrated’ to Dyffryn Clwyd
4. Laura Mary or Janet might be able to expand on the family history.
5. is there a will somewhere – St Asaph – what name?
6. Marriage of LD @ Llan Ffestiniog, Llanfrothen, or possibly Denbigh
7. She would have married about 1835 and children might be registered in 1837. There is also the 1841 census to be looked at.
8. What surname ??
9. Any photographs or old papers ?
