James Williams - Parents

I am searching for details on parents and siblings of James Williams who married Esther Hill (nee Wickham), Kilquade 1831 and who died Rathdown Union Workhouse 30 Jun 1855.   They had two children, Eliza and John, who were baptised at Kilquade, Mary who was baptised at Bray (1836) when family lived at Shanganagh and Catherine at Kingstown (Dún Laoghaire)(1838) with family then living at Killenay.   Esther died between 1842 and 1847

Tom:

The Kilquade RC records start in 1826 which is too late for James if he was from that parish since he was likely born around 1811 or earlier. Roots Ireland has an 1801, 1802 and 1810 baptismal records for a James Williams in Co. Wicklow but there is no way to determine if any of these records relate to your ancestor. Have you considered DNA testing? Possibly you may match someonew who is related on your Williams or Hill lines and they have more info on the family.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi again Tom!

One of our volunteers pointed out to me that there were three Ancestor profiles for James, Esther and Catherine on our Ancestor profile data base. Did you post these profiles? If you did not post the profiles you may want to post a comment and see if the poster responds.
