Jan,
The 1851 Census entry you mentioned, when they were living in Pennal, Merionethshire, will
give you the birthplaces of everyone in the household (i.e., parish and county). Did you
copy that entry? Pennal is just over the border from Llanwrin and Machynlleth so they
didn't go far.
Children born in Llanwrin after July 1837 will be registered at Machynlleth. A birth
certificate for any of the children will provide you with Elizabeth's maiden name.
(The marriage of the couple probably took place within months of the birth of the eldest
child -- usually in the bride's home parish. The first child was often born at the
woman's parents' home, as well.)
Earlier events will have to be found in microfilms of the Bishop's Transcripts for the
parishes where the children were baptised. Alternatively, if they were baptised in
nonconformist chapels, those registers have been microfilmed, as well.
Regards,
Julie Preston

Subject: [POWYS] Rowland JONES b. 1796
Where were children of Rowland and Elizabeth [EVANS and/or THOMAS] JONES
born between 1823-1840 in North Wales ?
In 1841 they were in Machynlleth, Montgomery County. [please see below].
In 1851 they were in Pennal in Merioneth.
County
and I'm assuming by 1860 they were in United States.
Many THANKS in advance,
