[Lizzy9]

This is them in the 1841 Census:

WILLIAMS, Elizabeth 35 1806 Anglesey
WILLIAMS, Richard 6 1835 Anglesey

WILLIAMS, William 4 1837 Anglesey
WILLIAMS, Eleanor 0 (10 months) 1841 Anglesey

Piece: 1362 Book/Folio: 10/5 Page: 4

This William fits very well age wise with the William on the US censuses

[Nicolina]

the 1910 Census has Morris a widower again. Harry is still at home an is now a Conductor on the Street Railroad.
Also living with them are:
Daughter Nellie A aged 36 and unmarried.
Daughter Minnie SYLVESTER aged 38 and a married Milliner
Grand-daughter Ellen SYLVESTER aged 2

using Morris' age I then searched the 1851 Census and found:

Thanks yes this does look promising, on looking a the letter with this information in mind Margaret does says that their father has made sure they know the Welsh language as if he taught them. I will this morning with fresh eyes go through it again.

I hope you do not mind, I have changed the title of your thread slightly. We need all the help we can get and I do think your starting point should be Wales.

Good Luck.

Thanks yes I agree the new title helps, roy
