Per https://historicgraves.com/st-john-s-knockainey/li-sjky-281/grave Evan Morgan Williams 1912-2001 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_Williams_(jockey) ); Gillian Rachel (née Muir) 1914-1996.

Note the same "For horse and hound" for father and son; the family ran the Knockainy stud in Co. Limerick, and Ian Williams's obituary in the Irish Field mentions Knockainy and Ballyvolane studs, and that he was Master of the Tynedale Hunt.

Per his obituary (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/evan-williams-9179560.html), Evan Williams was s. of Fred Williams, starter at the Chepstow and Ely (Cardiff) racecourses.
