Maesyward Farm, Bonvilston

[Farmingfamily]

Hi! I'm hoping someone can help please? I'm trying to find out about the parents of Beatrice Elizabeth Jones who was born at Maesyward Farm in 1886. I think her mother's name was Jane (possibly from Wernfawr), but I don't know her maiden name. I believe she married Thomas Rue in about 1913. Her father was possibly William Jones, but I'm not sure.
