Tracey,

Your best bet I think would be to search the Mormon records. You may find that he included the name of his father and mother when he joined the Church. They like to Baptise Ancestors into their Church which is why they have such extensive records, and so he probably did a family search, or if not some of his descendants may have. They may have a record of his joining but whether they allow you access I have no idea. I expect there is a Family History Centre in Auckland and much of their stuff is on microfiche.

A formidable task to find a Dai Jones in Wales. Best of luck,

Kris

My Jane seems to be too old to be a sister of Hester, but she could be a sister of William. All I have is that she and Samuel Griffiths had a son John Griffiths in 1799. It is assumed she was born prior to 1780 in Llanasa.

As I said I can't find anything on her or her marriage to Samuel Griffiths.  I would have thought they would have been married in the Parish Church.

Hi Barbara,

I will have to get the Non-conformist register as I know they were Chapel and not Church at least from my Grandmother onwards. I will be able to read a CD better than the Microfiche. I live in France and have no idea what Microfiche reader is in French so not much chance of finding one.  :(.

Back to one egg :)

Thanks Barbara,

The problem with having so many relatives with the same names as people they aren't closely related to is getting tangled up with the wrong line. All the places are a stones throw from each other  and all of my people in that line lived in all three. I have something to work on though. The same names keep cropping up so the gene pool there was getting a little muddied I think.

I didn't know I could buy CD's from the Clwyd FHS. I might do that depends how much they are. I still have some records to get from the 1911 census and no credits left! Oh well egg and chips for dinner ;D

Mormons do not have Preachers as such.  All the males of the Church become Elders when they reach majority I think. You may find what you are looking for on the  Mormon web Site.  Mormon Elder would not be a paid occupation.

I took a quick look but didn't find any born in Bagillt although there was a David Jones born 1816 on the 1881 census living in Bagillt. He was down as a Coal Miner.

Hope this helps,

I think your Hester Owen could be the sister of my Jane Owen do you have anything else on the family? Jane married Samuel Griffith in Llanasa my 4xgt Grandfather.

Thanks.
