I am trying to find out some information on the history of my family on my fathers side:
Me - John Trevor WILLIAMS
Father - Owen Prosser WILLIAMS- born Glossop, Derbyshire 1910
Grandfather - Owen Prosser WILLIAMS- babtised 1866 - Cleobury-Mortimer, Shrops
Prosser
That's about all I have, I don't know the location of Walton Court, (Wales or England), I would like to know more about John Prosser WILLIAMS - was he a vicar then ? English or Welsh ?
And of course any other PROSSER WILLIAMS family members
Many Thanks
John Trevor Williams
Hi Jon,
I Googled "Walton Court" and came up with a Camping & Caravan club site there. It is west of Presteigne at the junction of the A44 to Kington & B4362 to Presteigne. It is 3 miles from Kington, 5 miles to Presteigne and 9 miles to Knighton. It is/was in Radnorshire not far off Offa's Dyke. Is this possibly the place you are looking for? Hazel
Are you on Ancestry as there's someone on there with info on your family . They've put a picture on the site. Description; Walton Court, Old Radnor. This is what they said;
John Prosser Williams was born at Walton Court, which his father used temporarily as a vicarage, from 1833 to about 1840.
John Prosser WilliamsBirth 04/06/1835 in Walton Court, Radnorshire Death 9 Apr 1898 in Atcham, Montgomeryshire |
William Prosser WilliamsBirth Jan 1791 in New Radnor, Wales Death 14 Jan 1874 in Radnorshire |
I have found William Prosser Williams death cert 1874 which states he is a curate.
Thanks for that Angela, yes, my sister in law is checking on ancestry for me as well.
