After researching my side of the family for so long, I'm knee deep in Hargreaves and Jones (Dru's dad's mom's maiden name) genealogy. I thought I was stuck, but then found that Dru's dad's mom's dad's mom's dad was named William Williams. Wow! That should be easy to find records. Who names their kid with a duplicate name like that? It must be unique. So I thought. How inexperienced I am in Welsh anything.
On just one town census in 1861, I found the following names.
* Not one, not two, not three, but seven William Williams
* 2 Robert Roberts
* 1 Evan Evans
* 2 Hugh Hughes
* 1 Owen Owens
* 1 Lewis Lewis
Therefore, I'm stuck again.
