My gg grandparents John and Ann (Griffiths) Owens(s) may have lived in Caernarvonshire before coming to the U.S. in 1850. In the 1841 Census I find John Owens, born abt 1811 and Ann Owens, born about 1811 living in Llangian, Caernarvonshire, Wales. (Their years of birth match what I have) The farm was called Tanyffordo (sp?). Also, the following children were listed: Margaret (1833), John (1835), Owen (1838), Catherine (1841). Also listed is Margaret Griffiths (1766). This may be Ann's mother. I know that John and Ann had a son Owen (my records have him b. abt. 1841) But, we have no record of a Margaret, John or Catherine in this country. My mother, the oldest surviving member of this branch, has never heard of them. Margaret and John may have been old enough to be on their own when their parents emigrated and stayed in Wales. Perhaps Catherine died as a child, (I can’t find her in the BMD). I writing this in hopes it will ring a bell with other Owens researchers and we can make a connection. Thank you!
