So I have put this lot somewhere online and don't lose it among my notes!

I haven't found a baptism for Esther in the new Welsh parish registers on Findmypast (yet) but have found this possible family for her. The PR's don't show father's occupation, so I don't know whether this William is a carpenter.

Baptisms at Llanspyddid (Llansbyddyd on FMP):
Cecilia 22 Nov 1795
Margaret 29 Jul 1798
Mary 31 May 1801
William 4 Sep 1803
Thomas 28 Dec 1806
Jennet 1 Apr 1810

All children of William Williams and his wife Jennet.
William Williams married Jennet Williams 5 Dec 1794 Llanspyddid, both of the parish.

My Esther's children were called William, David, Ann, Morgan, Jennet, Margaret, and Esther. Morgan, Ann and David are names from Esther's husband's family, so I might expect the other names to come from Esther's family and they do fit nicely. But of course they are all pretty common names. I'm thinking if I can trace some of Esther's possible brothers and sisters forwards and find their marriages I can see if they say William was a carpenter. But it isn't very easy on findmypast as you can't do a parent search. Will have a go, anyway. Oh, except they will probably all have got married before 1837! Bother!
