Hi, Thank you all for your help and suggestions - lots for me to chase up!

I googled Jones/Bontuchel/Blacksmith and found some interesting things, especially an entry from curious fox which I've responded to.  I've also had a quick look at the 1851 census for Bontuchel - and guess what - there are umpteen John Jones - I can see this isn't going to be easy!!

Hi Nerys, Long time , no hear!

Hi Liverpool lass
I have been unsuccessful in having any contact with my relations/your relations i.e. Delyth /Hefina so have left that side of my tree alone for a while. I'll have to try Hefina's daughter again and see if she's researched any further on her nain's side. I think Owen & Mary would be her 4 x ggrandparents.

Being cheeky, I am also trying to find someone who classed himself as being born in Bontuchel in 1844 with a common name. Robert Roberts, I can't find him in the 1851 or 1861 census in Bontuchel and he's in 1871 with his wife and family. I don't know if anyone can advise me whether he might be under Gyffylliog or maybe Ruthin?


Best wishes

Hi Nerys.
It depends what records you are looking for if it is church records that you are looking for the most likely I woiuld think would be Cyffylliog as country folk tend to stick to country churches; although another alternative would be Llanfwrog church which is on the edge of Ruthin near the junction to the Bont uchel road.
Bont Uchel now comes under the parish of Llanynys, but I doubt if anyone from Bont would use the Llanynys church.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for that information. It might help a great deal to enable me get Robert Robert's birth certificate. There's a possible one on the CFHS .
Kind Regards

Hello Janet,
I had a look at Llanfwrog and Ruthin baptisms 1825 - 1835.
The only Edward Jones with a father John was Nov 16 1828 in Llanfwrog but John was a Labourer. I didn't come across a John Jones Blacksmith.

Hi Nerys, I couldn't see him in Gyffylliog or Ruthin Baptisms but there was a Robert Roberts June 22 1845 S/O John & Linda in Llanfwrog.
