Quite a number of years ago I had great help on this foram searching for my great grandfather William Llewellyn Jones, who has proved quite elusive. I have now found him on the 1911 census I the workhouse In Newcastle Emlyn,he is listed as inmate 45 years old and unmarried.we know he had medical connections,he is listed as a dispenser (medical). I am wondering if this information could lead me to his death date, if any records are still available for the workhouse. My grandmother lists him as deceased on her marriage certificate in 1912.
All help appreciated 😊

The only William JONES death at Newcastle in Emlyn between 1911 and 1912 is March qtr 1912 (11B / 25), however the age is 57, so quite a bit older than the 45 in the 1911 census. :-\

He seems to be a mystery man. Thanks for your reply 😊

I wouldn't put too much faith in Myfanwy's father being noted as deceased on the marriage cert, it could be a cover for not being in contact.

I would tend to agree with that.
Have you discounted this death in Jun qtr 1919 at Neath (11a/832) William Llewellyn JONES aged 53?
-
Thank you Osprey, you have given me lots of information to work on.
I have my grandmothers birth certificate,which lists William Llewellyn Jones and Elizabeth a Jones as parents. Does this necessarily mean they are married, i haven't been able to find a marriage certificate?
-
No, it doesn't mean they were definitely married. She's Jones on the 1891 census, but Davies in the 1892 newspaper. How is her name given on the cert? Is it Jones, formerly Davies? Although, her surname is Thomas in 1871.
My gggrandmother registered the births of her 2 children as if she was married to their father. They didn't marry until 2 years after the birth of the younger child.
::)

just had a look to see when Josiah, father of William Llewellyn, died and found a will in the National Probate Calendar - the will of Josiah Jones late of St David's Villa in the parish of Llangranog in the County of Cardigan grocer and draper who died 6 Aug 1885 and was proved at the Principal Registry by Margaret Jones (wife of Evan Jones) the daughter and David Josiah Jones Veterinary Student the son both of St David's Villa the Executors.

No mention of William in the funeral report of his brother John Josiah

Yes Elizabeth’s name is given as Jones, formally Davies.
I haven’t been able to find my grandmother Myfanwy Gwendoline, in the 1901 census, she would have been 8 yrs old. Could the children in the census with Mary Tudor be her siblings? or cousins?
Thank you so much for your help.😊

I Suspect the Mary G Jones aged 7 on 1901, granddaughter of Mary Tudor Davies, is Myfanwy
-
Agree with you there MB! The copy of the 1901 census that we see is the enumerator's copy so it's possible that the enumerator made an error with her name when copying up the household schedules. I doubt there would be time for another child and there is no registration for a Mary G Jones mmn Davies in Cardigan at that time.
Don't think they would have been cousins as Mary T appears to have had only Elizabeth.
;)
-
No wonder I couldn’t find her!
I think have found William Llewellyn in the 1901 census, he is a border in Llandebie,listed as physician Surg. and single.
I haven’t been able to find any information, to prove he was qualified as a medical person,
Although my grandmother told me he was “chief surgeon in Cardiff hospital”

I've seen that referred to as 'occupation inflation'
;D
-
😊 so nowfor Elizabeth. In the 1901 census.maybe she was still in 13 pwllhai.
Can you search by address?
-
you can search by address on FindmyPast, but so sign of Elizabeth in Pwllhai. Houses aren't numbered in 1901 so can't tell which one is 13.

Feel a visit to Llangranog coming on 😊. Jill

There's a book on the workhouse - 'Newcastle-in-Emlyn Union & Workhouse' by Ken Jones, 2011, ISBN 0955662516, which you may be able to get secondhand somewhere
