my grandparents lived at wesley place in denbigh in 1908, there names where edward and margaret jones, it seems they lived in this area for many years before moving to llandudno. they had 4 children named lillian,margaret,alice and dennis. all the chidren where registered in the st,asaph area. i have searched on the ancestry site but there are too many jones to pick from.
i now live in canada and do not have the resouces to find my grandparents.

Hi
Do you have some information as to whether they married before the 1901 census and can you give some idea of what year(s) the children were born

Hi JD
North Wales BMD has four potential marriages 1905-1908 for Edward Jones & POSSIBLE Margaret Jones
There is a civil marriage in Llanrwst 1906 that might be them. (Might tie in with them moving to Llandudno after Denbigh. One or both of them might have originated in that area)
The Llandudno office holds the registers now - local reference is RWST/17/45
One other thing - do you have the birth certificate for Lillian? - the father's occupation might help to confirm you have the correct marriage certificate when you find it.

Hi JD
Another thought. Have you tried searching the WW1 Pension Records on ancestry? The long gap between the first two children and the last two might mean he was in the army during the war. Hint -don't just go by age - several of mine made themselves out to be younger so that they would get accepted. Just scroll through all of them.
Also, if Edward died in Llandudno have you tried contacting the Llandudno Historical Society group. They might have access to more records like newspaper archives and information re his death and burial which could give you valuable clues to his age etc.
