Jones' of Bontuchel/Ruthin

[cnerys]

Hi Paul,
Thanks for that, it might prove interesting. One of Robert's daughters named her illegitimate son John Herbert Roberts and I had thought that maybe Robert's father might be a John, will look into it
Kind Regards

If you have an idea someone might be somewhere let me know I don't mind having a look in the PR's

Hi Paul,

Thanks for looking for the baptisms for me!  I've nothing else to go on, but I suppose it's possible that John could have been a labourer in 1828 and, by the time Edward was 1st married 20 years later, in 1848 he was a blacksmith.

I had looked on the IGI and found a baptism for an Edward Jones (birth 30.3.1828) at Mwrog Street Particular Baptist, Llanfwrog with parents John and Elizabeth - is this the one you found too?

I'm a bit stuck now!!  I'm away on holiday next week but on my return I'll try and get my head round all the information I've been given and arrange a trip over to Ruthin and Bontuchel.

Thanks again for your help,

Janet

Hi Janet,  I had a look in the Wesleyan Chapel, Mill St, Ruthin. Births and Baptisms 1813-1837.
 The only Edward Jones I could see was the S/O John & Mary. Wrexham. Miner. Born, May 29 1831. Baptised, June 9 1831

There is a John Jones - a Smith - in the township of Bodyngharad Isa part of Llanfwrog in the 1841 census
(HO 107/1404/12) with a large family not including an Edward unfortunately. There is a son Robert also a Smith.
Let me know if you want the details. The mother is Elizabeth.
There is also an Edward Jones living in Mwrog St Llanfwrog as a servant born 1826.

I have spotted a baptism of an Edward Jones (in IGI - Clocaenog) on the 5 Sept 1824 with parents John & Elizabeth.
Perhaps it is an age problem.

Hi Peter and Paul,

Thanks for all the information.   This isn't easy is it??!!

The John Jones and family you mention in Bodyngharad Isa sound interesting.  On the 1851 census, IF I have the correct Edward Jones, his birth place is listed as (what looks to me like) Llanferrog (maybe Llanfwrog?) which could fit.

The baptism for an Edward on the IGI which I mentioned in an earlier message, has parents John and Elizabeth, and is at the Mwrog Street Particular Baptist - all information that would "fit" with the 1841 census information.

I suppose my best bet is to try and find the baptism I mention, and then see if I can link that with any of the siblings in the 1841 census.  In all the later census' I've found for "my" Edward, his given age indicates he was born in 1828/29.  I think the ages in the 1841 census are round up/down, so the one who was a servant in Mwrog St Llanfwrog could be the one I'm looking for.

Does all this make sense?  The other option is that this is the wrong family and I'm heading off down the wrong branch!!

It isn't is it!
I suffer from the Jones problem and am struggling.
However you know Edward's father was John and a Smith. You know he is from Llanfwrog ( that is I think is what it says in 1851). Other children in the 1841 entry I found were baptised in the Mwrog Street chapel (David and Enoch as examples). There is an Elizabeth born after 1837 so it may be worth buying the birth cert. On the minus side there seems also to be another set of John & Elizabeth Jones in Clocaenog.
I think you may have to check all the baptisms with John & Elizabeth as parents and connect them to family names. Also do any of the wedding witnesses names coincide?
If you can find the death where was he living and who did the notification?

Hope that makes sense at this late hour.
