Owen is a fairly common name especially in wales etc. Do you know exactly where william was born?Was he married and is so what was his wifes name?

What relation are you to this person?

Im sure someone on the boards could help but some more details would help.

Maybe post this on the geneology board and someone may be able to look him up for you.
