Hi Alison
My laptop charger and battery went a bit funny yesterday while I was doing some of the searches so I've only just caught up with this.
Yes I come back to the same parents, so I think I am probably on the right track. It doesn't help though with narrowing down his birth certificate or finding any baptism details. It was recommended yesterday that he would come under Corwen, however having re-looked at the BMD's they do not have any registrations for that area. The main registration district is St Asaph (hoping it's not that, as there are lots of John Davies).
I assume that you mean Jones and not Davies
Re the registration districts ~ the RD for Cerrigydrudion is definitely Corwen - I gave the ref to the Genuki listing. in my earlier posting. Also note the code in despair's ref is CW - standing for Corwen.
Registration District of Corwen
This Registration District was initially (1837) co-extensive with the Corwen poor law Union.
It was divided into two sub-districts :
