      Also John Jones, age 15, born in same village, father Roderick Jones, a Farmer.

Hi Dave. I hope this helps ...

1861 census
Llanbadarn Trefeglwys, Cardiganshire

Thomas Evans, head, married, 38, glazier, born Llanbadarn Trefeglwys
Elizabeth Evans, wife, married, 46, born Llangeitho, Cardiganshire
Hugh Evans, son, 15, scholar, born Llanbadarn Trefeglwys
Stephen Evans, son, 13, scholar, born Llanbadarn Trefeglwys
Jane Evans, dau, 10, scholar, born Llanbadarn Trefeglwys
Margaret Evans, dau, 8, born Llanbadarn Trefeglwys
John Evans, son, 5, born Llanbadarn Trefeglwys
Anne Evans, dau, 3, born Llanbadarn Trefeglwys

I'm afraid I can't find a John Jones, son of Roderick, who is born in the same village.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot for that Andy, I will pass it on to Dave when he gets back from his hols.   

John Jones and Margret Evans where our Great Grand Parents. They married in 1872, at Bethania but they were both living in Llan. Trefeglwys at the time. Any chance of a look up in the 1871 census? We have tried the 1881 but no sign of John Jones.

     Thanks for that Andy, it confirms the 1861 entry.

   As for John Jones, the only definite info we have is that he was born 1846 in Cardiganshire, father Roderick jones, a farmer. I expect that a search using just that would turn up too many hits, any ideas?

Hi Andy,we have got a bit further with our search for Rodrick Jones.

He has turned up in the 1871 census.

Rodrick Jones, 69, born Trefilan, Farmer, living in Nantcwlle with his wife Jane Jones, 67, no sign of any children though.

Could you please look in the 1861 census and see if they are in Nantcwlle? His age should be about 59 and there 2 children that we know of, John, age 15 and Evan.

Thanks

Sorry Andy, made a spelling mistake.   

For Nantcwlle read Nantcwnlle

Sorry, no Roderick Jones or Jane Jones in that village?

They still seem to be elusive.

Thanks for that Andy, I am at a loss as to where to go next.     I have tried the IGI but no luck there either.   

Looks like the proverbial "brick wall" is on the horizon.
