Hi Gadjet

Thank you for the info, it was very interesting, especially the romany roots web site. It confirmed my theory that Jerry Bach used the name Jones.
Many thanks

Wales / jeremiah wood jones 1817-1878
« on: Thursday 11 February 10 15:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All
I was wondering if anybody knew anything about Jeremiah Wood Jones the son of Jerry Bach Gogerddan 1778-1867.
My GGgrandfather was called Jeremiah Jones, he was a harpist in Abergavenny and I am unsure as to whether he is actually Jeremiah Wood Jones.
I know that Jeremiah Wood Jones had brothers called Theophilus and John. My GG grandfather called his son Theophilus John. I do know that Jerry Bach used the name Jones for official purposes, such as the census. I am sure I have his death cert and the name is Jones, although he is buried under the name Wood.
I have been told that my GG grandfather had cousins who played the Violin and Harp for Queen Victoria.
Any info much appreciated.

Hi All
I have been reading this with interest. I wondered if  anybody knew anything about Jeremiah Wood Jones son of Jerry Bach, its just that I know My GG Grandfather was a Jeremiah Jones who was a Harpist in Abergavenny. I know that his father was a Jeremiah Jones, Harpist. I know that Jeremiah Wood Jones had brothers called Theophilus and John and my GG Grandfather called his son Theophilus John. (Or the one son I know about) What I have been told by my grandmother and her sisters was that he had cousins who played for for Queen Victoria.
I have researched the Woods and know that Jerry Bach used the name Jones for official purposes, and comes up as Jones on the 1841 and 1851 census, I am sure I also have his death certificate which is under the name Jones. Although on the burial register he is buried as a Wood.
We had no idea of any gypsy link, but my G Aunt left me some books by George Borrow when she died, and I think maybe she knew.
I would love to know for sure.
