jeremiah wood jones 1817-1878

[Allie H]

Hi All
I was wondering if anybody knew anything about Jeremiah Wood Jones the son of Jerry Bach Gogerddan 1778-1867.
My GGgrandfather was called Jeremiah Jones, he was a harpist in Abergavenny and I am unsure as to whether he is actually Jeremiah Wood Jones.
I know that Jeremiah Wood Jones had brothers called Theophilus and John. My GG grandfather called his son Theophilus John. I do know that Jerry Bach used the name Jones for official purposes, such as the census. I am sure I have his death cert and the name is Jones, although he is buried under the name Wood.
I have been told that my GG grandfather had cousins who played the Violin and Harp for Queen Victoria.
Any info much appreciated.

Hi Allie

Welcome to Rootschat 

There's some information on the family on this site:

Select Wood from the left hand surname listing.

I helped someone a while ago on the family. See here:

Thank you for the info, it was very interesting, especially the romany roots web site. It confirmed my theory that Jerry Bach used the name Jones.
Many thanks
