I am still researching these two ancestors. They were originally mentioned in a post from 2015. David Jones and Margaret Griffiths were married 1 Jan 1801 Llandarog. The twins were born and baptised 10 May 1801 Llandarog. William is my 2nd g grandfather, but I don't have anything on John. Any information gratefully accepted. Wendy (aka mrshuma)
Map tells me they couldn't find a LLandarog, but there is on FMP a death for a John Jones[probate report] 1903 Residence LLANDAROG Index To Death Duty Registers 1796-1903 National Archives reference IR27/601 .. probate found Anc. for A John Jones of Bryngro LLanbedrog Carnarvonshire famer & Coal dealer died 24 Feb 1903 Probate Bangor 6 Jan to Mane Mones widow & John Jones caretaker. John Jones of "Court Henry" Golden Grove Carmarthenshire died 13 Jan 1903 Admin Carmarthen 20 July to Ellen Jones widow. OR John Jones Burial Date 28 Feb 1876 Event Place Llanddarog, Carmarthenshire, Wales Age 75 Birth Year (Estimated) 1801 Family search has a few suggestions.
Hi Wendy! Wales is/has been a really hard place to research. Of your searching, the one that would make the most sense is the last one, but who can tell Does FMP have anything that has scanned doc's? I hope that they stayed in the Carmarthen Reg Dist area, but I really don't know. AND, unfortunately, they all have similar names through the generations. Would it be easier (yeah right) to search for a marriage? probably around 1829, same as William (the twin) married? TY, Wendy (aka mrshuma)
Llanddarog, Carmarthenshire. Bordered by Llanarthney, Gorslas, Pontyberem, Llangyndeym and Llangunno. All in Carmarthenshire. Golly. I hope I got those place names correct!
Several John Jones in the probate files for Carmarthen. I chose these as being closest to above burial. I am having big problems controlling fingers today, sorry this has taken so long.
