Caernarvonshire / Re: Roberts Family of Rhiwlas and Llanddeiniolen
« on: Saturday 08 March 25 18:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi both, I was interested to read your message chain as I have been struggling to identify my father's Llanddeiniolen family tree and your messages are encouraging. My grandmother, Laura Jones, nee Roberts, died in the Rhondda Valley, South Wales but was born in Llanddeiniolen in September 1885. She will have been part of the southwards migration from the Caernarvonshire slate quarries to the Rhondda coal mines at the end of the 19th century. I never knew my paternal grandfather but I believe his name was William Jones. They had five children (Nellie, Bill, Evan, Len and Glanville) and lived in and around Llwynypia.
I have been trying over several years to fill in my family tree gaps by following through my DNA matches on Ancestry and MyHeritage, but so far no luck. The Roberts family seem to come from Llanddeiniolen, with links to Flintshire, and William was apparently born in Chwilog according to one Census return.
Does any of this ring any bells with you?
Best regards,
Allan Jones
