Possible marriage for Cecilia - Llanspyddid 13 Jun 1822 Cecilia Williams of the parish of Devynnock married David Powell of Llanspyddid, carpenter, witnesses Catherine Bailey and John Morgan. Possible marriage for Margaret, also at Llanspyddid - Margaret Williams of Llanspyddid married Jephthah Prosser, labourer, 16 Nov 1824, witnesses William Williams and John Morgan. Can't see any likely marriages at Llanthetty.
Possible burial for William Williams - 21 Nov 1846 Llanspyddid, age 82, abode Llanvace (= Llanvaes?)
Possible burial for Jennet Williams - 30 Jul 1862 Llanspyddid age 95, abode Ffrwdgrech St Davids.
I found this census entry for 1841 - Ship Street, Market Street, St John Chapelry of St Mary, Brecon
Jennett Williams 75 Y
Margaret Do 45 Y
William Williams 35 Carpenter Y
Ann Do 40 N
Robert Thomas 11 N
William Williams 5 Y
Ann Thomas 2? Y
And in 1851, at Market Street, Brecon St Mary:
William Williams Head M 49 Carpenter Breconsh Brecon
Ann Do Wife M 52 Laundress Somersetsh Butleigh
James Thomas Stepson U 24 Groom Glam Merthyr
William Williams Son U 14 Scholar Breconsh Brecon
Philip Do Son 7 Do Do Do
Margaret Griffiths servant.
I'm thinking this could be Esther's brother, with their mother in 1841. In which case it looks likely that their sister Margaret isn't the one who married Jephthah Prosser. Also, William senior probably isn't the one who died in 1846. I like the possible brother's occupation but his birthplace is Brecon instead of Llanspyddid. All a bit tenuous so far!
