Robert Jones, Llanelidan, mid 1800s

I think you're right. It would be pronounced  Caerthinen or Carthinen - very similar to Garthinan.

And in the 1871 census Robert and Margaret are at Bryn Melyn !

The plot thickens....

Re David Jones and Susannah Jones, then they're on the 1851 census at Llanbedr Farm, Llanbedr. David is from Llanelidan but it's not quite clear where Susannah is from. At that time David is 60 and Susannah is 39. Might be that David was previously married ?

I think the likeliest interpretation of Susanna's birthplace is a form of Ditto(for Denbighshire) followed by Cerrigydruidion.

This probably won't help, but there is a Garthinen in Gwyddelwern and also Llandrillo
D Jones

I'm not sure if you've read the whole thread but this was mentioned by HT a few pages ago:

Welshnewspapers online has "Garthinen, Llandrillo" and "Garthinen, Gwyddelwern"

 The problem is that Robert Jones is consistent in his statements on marriage cert and censuses that he was born in and lived in the parish of  Llanelidan.

In the light of the previous speculation here is a very interesting snippet for an 1882 marriage of John Hughes,Caerddinen,to Margaret Jones,Garthgynen( or less likely,Garthgynea?).is she the daughter of Robert and Margaret?

1871 = RG10/5663/24/2 at Bryn Melyn, Llanelidan

They do have a daughter Margaret, b. c. 1860.

The only Garthgynan I can find is in Lanfair Dyffryn Clwyd(approx.postcode LL15 2EP),so it is possibly just a coincidence of names.
