What a wonderfully quick response!
His daughter's name was Mary Hannah Jones.
I didn't give any of her particulars because it was outside Radfordshire and
indeed outside Wales.
She was born in 1872 and died 28th August, 1877 at 2 Harford St.,
Bedminster.
Her mother was Mary Anna Jones, formerly Rees, born Llanfair,
Cardiganshire abt 1848.
The daughter's death certificate described Mary Hannah as "daughter of David
Thomas Jones".
It gave Rosetta Chard as present at the death.
David Thomas has been a mystery from that time on.
Any information would be good.
Marion.

Hello Marion,
Leading on from the details Vera has given you for David Jones in the 1851
census: Llandewi'r Cwm is only about 4 miles from Llanfaredd - so the
infant, David was not too far from home.
Your understanding is that David was born mid 1850 - which seems to agree
with the age of the David found in the census.
The registration district for Llanfaredd is Builth. From ancestry.com's
free beta index of BMDs, references for David Jones' born in Builth
registration district in 1850 are:
March Quarter, Builth, XXV1, 279 - David Jones
Sept. Quarter, Builth, XXV1, 325 - David Jones
Dec. Quarter, Builth, XXV1, 303 - David Jones
None of these are recorded in the index as having the middle name Thomas -
which doesn't mean that they didn't actually have a middle name.
Can only find 1 reference for a David Thomas Jones born in 1850:
June Quarter, Montgomery, XXV11, 124
It might help to contact the Mid Powys Registrar (Builth office closed in
1988) and ask them to do a search, stipulating that David's father is also
called David and was a farmer.

Dennis,
To clarify, Marion actually meant he was born sometime in the year 1850 -- in the middle of that year, seemingly. I know -- I thought the same thing, initially! ;-)

Dear Marion,
The two David Jones, father 36, and son 7, (and family) in the RAD 1961
Census, mean the son was born Mid 1850's at Llanfaredd, which is what you asked
for. Are you sure they are not yours??

With a great-grandfather called
DAVID THOMAS JONES and no success in finding him even after more than 30 years spent trying, I wondered if someone closer to his home could help me.
He was born abt. mid -1850 at Llanfaredd, Radnorshire.
His father's name was also David Jones - found this on David Thomas' marriage certificate.
My great-grandfather was an engine driver with the Great Western Railway. living in Bedminster.
The last record I have found of him was on his 5year-old daughter's death certificate in 1877. She died from complications of whooping cough.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Marion,
I just checked a website for the 1891 Census of Pembrokeshire (includes some parishes in Cardiganshire, including Cardigan, St. Mary's) and the index shows a Mary Anna JONES, age 34, born Cardigan, living in Cardigan, St. Mary's. (That part was free -- to view the image, you'll need to pay.)
Cenquest
http://www.cenquest.co.uk/
I didn't register and just did a "Person Search", input Mary *A* and Jones and left the other boxes with just the asterisk * to see what came up. I had no luck with Margaret *J* nor Watkin (any combination), nor David *T*.
Regards,
Julie Preston

Marion,
Definitely, all details help to form the whole picture. Interesting that they waited until the 2nd child was born to have two of them baptised. This came up the other day on the Dyfed list.
Family stories are often wrong -- romanticized by someone along the way. I don't understand the part about denying the son money --- do you mean David Thomas Jones denied your *Grandfather* money?
It looks like you still need to find parents for little David Jones in 1851 in Llanfaredd -- a farmer and his wife who already have children, most likely -- it wasn't uncommon for a little one to be living out with another family, "at nurse".
Something took them to Tenby --- the railway had just been built through there and one of my relatives was also an "Engine Driver", coincidentally, in Tenby. Have you looked for a possible death of David Thomas JONES between 1877 and 1881 in that area? Have you also looked in Tenby for them (Mary Anna, children, plus David Thomas Jones, whether together or apart) in 1891?
Also, where was Watkin Richelieu (quite a name!) in 1881 if he was not with his mother? Do you have his 1896 marriage certificate? Does it state his father was "deceased"? Both Mary Anna and David Thomas Jones were still relatively young by that time.

Hello Julie,
Many thanks.
David Thomas Jones and Mary Anna Rees were married at the Parish Church,
Temple, Bristol on 1st February, 1871.
Both parties gave their age as 21 years.
David Thomas' father, David, was a "Farmer".
Mary Anna's father, Watkin Rees,
was a "Farmer".
The witnesses: Thomas E. ?March Workery and
Thomas Porter.
1871 census they were at 3 Tower Lane, Temple, Bristol.
David Thomas' age: 20
Mary Anna's: 23
They were living at 2 Harford St. Bedminster, Bristol when their daughter,
Mary Hannah Jones was born in 1872. Dec. qtr. Vol 5c p717.
My grandfather, Watkin Richelieu Jones was born there on 26th October, 1874.
Mary Hannah and Watkin Richelieu were baptised at
Temple Church, Bedminster on
10th January, 1875.
Another daughter, Margaret Jane Jones was born in 1877 at Tyngwydor,
Llanfair, Cardiganshire.
I think the mother was visiting her sister, Margaret Rees for her wedding.
Margaret Jane was baptised at
St. Mary Redcliff, Bristol on 25th July, 1877.
The family was still living at 2 Harford Street.
Mary Hannah Jones died on 28th August, 1877 and the family seemed to fall
apart after that time.
My grandfather told me David Thomas had been told his son had died and when
he found this was not true, cut off all contact with his wife and her
family.
From what he said there would seem to have been an attempt to deny the son
money.
There was never any talk of a little girl dying.
1881 census Tenby.
Mary H. Jones and Margt. J. Jones
at 6 Park Road, Tenby.
Mary H. was the Matron of a Creche.
She described herself as a widow.
This is the last I know of either of them although there was a story that
they moved north and had an inn or hotel - ?Bangor, ?Blaenau
Ffestiniog.
I think she was still alive when my grandfather married in 1896.
Are you sure you wanted all this?
Seems an awful burden.
Marion.

Marion,
You never know what might come from all these questions being asked and answered -- here are some more:
Have you looked for David Thomas Jones as an infant (1 year or so of age) in the 1851 Census for Llanfaredd?
The Powys County Archives hold a microfilm of the original parish register -- suggest you contact them for a baptism lookup -- I wouldn't count on the middle name "Thomas" necessarily being one he was christened with as people often 'adopted' a middle name sometime in life to differentiate themselves from others with a common name, especially when they left Wales.
Where were David Thomas Jones and Mary Anna Rees married in 1871? Any witnesses? What were the
What was the occupation of his father as stated on the marriage certificate?
Do you have a census entry for the couple from 1871? I take it this is where you found the birthplaces for both David Thomas Jones & Mary Anna?
You say you find nothing more on David Thomas Jones after being named on his daughter's death certificate in 1877 -- have you found his wife listed in the 1881 and later census returns, without him?
Did the couple have any more children? (This would mean searching for birth certificates in the area they were living in 1871 and up to their residence in Bedminster in 1877.)
A job as "Engine Driver" could've taken him almost anywhere in those days, with the expansion of the Great Western Railway.

Hello,
Many thanks for your help.
I doubt that this is my family.
The son, David, is too young.
My David Thomas Jones was married in February,1871 and gave his age as 21
years.
Of course, he could have given false information particularly if he would
otherwise have required parental permission.
I think the bride took a couple of years off her age.
I wonder if I will ever know his mother's name and what became of him.

Hi
I am new to the list and researching my THOMAS ancestors from Rhayader, HAMER & MASON as well.
John THOMAS married Ann EDWARDS in Rhayader church in 1787. He is supposed to have emigrated from Cardiganshire where he was born bef 1763 with the surname VIPOND he took his fathers first name of THOMAS as his Surname. Specifically interested in the name VIPOND see web page www.Vieuxpont.co.uk
Also any info on any of the following, William THOMAS [a Stone Mason] who is in the 1891 and 1901 census at Penwern, Llanwrtyd Wells wife Catherine, sons Isaac born 1873 [in Glamorgan 1901], William born 1876 [also in Glamorgan 1901], Robert born 1892, Margaret A born 1882, Lydia born 1888, Kate J born 1886 and Elizabeth born 1886.
I have talked to Steve Vipond, we both live at Dolau, he comes from Lancashire so probably only very distantly related.

Hello Vera, Thank you for responding. I am sorry, I didn't state that I
know Elizabeth's maiden name is Yapp. I thought that was a rather unusual
name and I'd easily find information about her, until I looked at the
Shropshire census' and realised there are lots of them! My mother's cousin
has the family Bible clutched firmly in his hands, and has only given me a
little information (all he has, he says). It seems she was born on 9 May
1805 or 7 or may be something else. Evan Thomas James, her husband, was the
son of Richard James and Ann (the other person I am trying to find out
about) All I know about Richard is that he was probably born 1759 and was a
Maltster and died 1830. Ann died in 1844. I will make contact with Mr
Powell as you suggest (thank you for that) and see if he can 'throw' any
light on it.
With many thanks and good wishes

Hi Vera and Sandra,
I have already given Sandra some data on her people in Presteigne from the
1841 census, like you, but I have no other data for RAD then. Some Presteigne
and Kington data also appears in the the early HFDS census I think? Perhaps
the same time for 1841, etc?
I want to speak with you re the PFHS RAD Group matters too please. I was at
the recent PFHS Executive Mtg here and I mentioned it to Lloyd Lewis, but I
think he is very busy in other RAD issues at present. Do you have a list of
members for the possible RAD Group please? I think we must have that to go any
further re new meetings, etc.
Best wishes to you both,
Dennis Cleaton

Could anyone look at the Presteigne Parish Registers to tell me when Richard James (b. 1759) married someone called Ann (b.abt 1765) and what her surname was, please.
Many thanks

Hi List:
I am new to this list and I am seeking information on my Francis
family.
My Gr.Gr. grandfather was George FRANCIS, he was born about 1828 in Kerry
MGY. His mother was Mary FRANCIS single woman.
My George FRANCIS married Margaret MATTHEWS in 1849 in Newtown MGY,
Margaret's father is listed as John MATTHEWS.
George & Margaret FRANCIS had a son George born Aug. 1852 in Newtown.
Margaret died just after George's birth.
George born 1828 then married Elizabeth Everall in 1856 at Bishops Castle.
It has in the I.G.I.'s that my George FRANCIS born in 1828 was the son of
David LEWIS & Mary FRANCIS.
I would like to hear from anyone researching or has information on my family.
Thank you.
Bev. in Canada
Thanks to all of you who answered my message, on and off the list, regarding
Jennet Vaughan's absence from the IGI and the Bishops transcripts for the
parish of Llanfilo. I appreciate you all taking the time to try and help
me.
I've had a letter in early January from a gentleman in Roath, who prefers
not to utilize computers, who told me he has seen Jennet's baptismal entry
in the original Llanfilo parish register. My question was to the accuracy
of the year of baptism that he gave me (1811) and that is what I wanted to
confirm.
My grateful thanks to all of you,
