I am related to the Owen Jones family of Bryntegid, Llanycil, Bala. Their gardener at one time (living in Bryntegid Gardeners Cottage) was Joseph Jones. Joseph and Jane Jones' son, Robert Evan Jones, mentioned in one of these posts, was fatally injured when a paraffin lamp tipped over. He is buried at St. Beuno's Churchyard, Llanycil, Bala. One of the Bryntegid children (Gwendolen Owen Jones) wrote a letter to her father mentioning the tragedy which occurred in about 1893. I have a photocopy of her letter but the original is in the possession of my cousin.
In the 1911 census it was recorded that Joseph and Jane had had six children but two had died by then.
