Crow family information from Glyn Williams, Derek Owen and Ethel

Glyn Williams wrote a letter dated 19 April 1998 containing a history of the Crow family from Beaumaris. As of this date there is no definite link between “his” Crows and “ours”, but Beaumaris is a small area, and Crow is an unusual name in Wales, so they must be related. A summary of this letter, and a further letter dated 6 May 1998 follows. With the exception of one small piece of information it was all obtained from the Beaumaris Parish Records.

Derek Owen provided some similar, and some additional information, in letters dated 5 April and 24 June 1998.

Ethel provided some similar, and some additional information, in an email dated 2 May 2001.

William Crow baptised in 1700.

Thomas and Suzanne Crow had at least two children: Mary, baptised in April 1733, buried September 1737; William, baptised 1735.

John, son of William and Anne Crow, baptised 10 March 1734. Another son of the same parents was baptised in January 1737. He was possibly called Peter and buried in September 1737.

William Crow married Ann Rowlands on 11 April 1760 by licence.
(This is in Ethel’s email immediately after a 1754 marriage of William Crow to Anne Rowlands – I suspect that this is a typo and should be Ann Davies)

(Derek Owen and Ethel both have 1 January 1765)

Susannah Crow, the daughter of William and Anne Crow was baptised in Beaumaris on 1 July 1775.
