Title: Llewellyn Morgan Jones Aberdare 1871?
Post by: jhaz1963 on Monday 17 February 14 07:24 GMT (UK)

I am looking for information about Llewellyn Morgan Jones, my 3rd Great Grandfather.

I have picked up his name from my 2nd Great Grandmothers Marriage Certificate, Gerrelen Jones married John Lewis in 1873, he is noted as a witness so was certainly alive then. She was born about 1845 in Carmartenshire so he would have been born before 1830's.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

So many Llewellyn Jones in Aberdare in 1871! And I can't find Gerrelen on ANY census?!

But this family looks a good match?
Llewellyn is about the right age, and from the right county?

Thanks, certainly a possibility although the marriage certificate has Llewellyn's occupation as 'Mason'.

I am taking Gerrelen as the correct spelling as I see it on the marriage certificate but in later census' it is down 'Geraldine', 'Jeralin' & 'Jerealina'. The marriage certificate has her address as Mill Street, Aberdare (as was her husband's) are there any resourses that allow searches on the address?

Hi in 1871, was Gerrelen, the Gernofred Jones aged 25 b Bridgend at Raydar Farm, Cardiff
Census Ref RG10/5368/55/14?

EDIT just spotted that she was born in Carmarthenshire, in saying that in 1881/91 as a widow she is either born 1881 c 1847 Portishead? Carmarthenshire or 1891 b c 1846 Aberdare?

What was her father's given name on the marriage certificate?

Hi Keyboard86,

Her fathers name on the marriage certificate was Llewellyn Morgan Jones.

Hi again, either Gerelene or whatever is using her middle name or she was not born a Jones, but with a combination of Gerelene or whatever with a Llewellyn Morgan Jones occ Mason,  no way am I making any headway, any thoughts welcome!
