Possible marriage?

David Jones, bachelor of the Parish of Llangeinwen and Elizabeth Jones, spinster, of this Parish married by Banns the Tenth of September, Eighteen Hundred and Five. Both signed, witnesses Owen and John Jones.

The FindMyPast transcription gives groom's residence as Llangeinwen and the bride's as Llanidan - marriage place Llangwyllog. This doesn't seem to fit??

Thank you all so much for the information you have contributed about David Jones. Amazing. It'll take me a little time to work through everything but I have far more leads than I thought possible when I very hopefully posted my original message.

Smith from England and Jones from Wales is a heady combination to research!!!!
