6: John Williams = Sarah Ladd.
5: Children: Lavinia, Sarah Jane, Martha
Sarah Ladd (daughter of William Ladd, farmer at Trewidwal - west of St. Dogmaels) was born about 1825. This farm name may be related to Trewyddel - Welsh name of Moylegrove nearby - which translates as Irish town. Her mother Rachel (née Morris of Bridell) died soon after Sarah was born. Several Ladd families were based around Cardigan (as farmer, tailor, saddler, joiner), mostly born at Llangoedmor. Sarah was working as a servant at Swansea by 1841 and married John L Williams at Swansea in 1844. They had three daughters: Lavinia, Sarah Jane and Martha (born 1849 at Swansea).
By 1847, John was mate on a Newport registered vessel and they may have moved to Newport from 1849 on. In the 1851 census, Sarah and her three daughters were living at Newport and John Williams had died (by drowning according to family memory: so between 1849 and 1851). Sarah married Captain Thomas Nicholas (originally from St. Dogmaels) at Newport in 1854 and they had a son John William Nicholas.
We have inherited paintings of Sarah alone and of Sarah holding her daughter Martha. Also we have a chair (originally one of 4) made by her uncle Thomas Ladd and dated 1844.
