[Liesbeth Wiiliams]

The 1871 entry for Walter McKenzie Williams should read as that, not as Walter K McWilliams. He was a distant cousin of my husband. The younger Samuel James Crosby moved to Port Penrhyn, Llandegai when married and in 1911 census is clerk to the Slate Quarry owner.

A few months ago, someone asked me about Walter McKenzie Williams, and I'm attaching what I wrote about him.
