David Jones, 60, Farmer
Elizabeth Jones, 50
Elizabeth 20; Catharine 15; Robert 14, Laura 8

Address Carregbwa, all born Anglesey.

David's age doesn't quite fit, even allowing for rounding down.

Many thanks to those who posted census and marriage references - I believe they all apply to my David Jones based on family info I have. Most appreciated.

Two further sources of information about Rev  David Jones of Dwyran
are written in welsh.
Hanes Plwyf Niwbwrch [History of Newborough Parish] by Hugh Owen,
published in 1949, contains a chapter on Capel Ebenezer, a Calvinistic
Methodist Chapel, with a footnote which provides details about the
ancestors of Rev. David Jones. The Newborough methodists first worshipped
at Tyn-rallt the home of his grandfather, John David [baptized 17
January 1725 son of Samuel David and Jane Bonn, at Newborough church]

There is more at:
Hanes Methodistiaeth Môn  [History of the Methodist church in Anglesey (1851)]
volume 2 page 506 and the following pages. It adds the detail:

After the death of Sion Dafydd [John David], Ty'n-yr-allt, the
religious cause was moved from there to the well-known place of
Plas-Newborough, the residence of the parents of the Rev. D. Jones,
Dwyran, and stayed at there for about 7 years. After that it moved
again to Owen Jones's house, near the village.

The will of John David 1775 at the National Library of Wales
mentions his three sons John Jones, Owen Jones and William Jones and
one daughter Jane Jones.

NLW B/1775/16 John David; he was buried 21 August 1775.
