Hi Everyone
I am looking for some help to identify the CATHERINE JONES who married my Gt
Gt Grandfather ROGER JONES in Llanidloes on 29 November 1872
The marriage Certificate shows her as CATHERINE JONES aged 21 Years a
Domestic Servant of Dildre, Llanidloes with her father shown as REES JONES a
Miner.
The nearest I can get to Dildre on the 1871 for Montgomeryshire is
Dyildrefach and Dyildrefawr but CATHERINE JONES is not shown at either
address (mind you the 1871 return was 18 months earlier than the marriage?
Looking at the 1881 however I note that she is now living in Ystradyfodwg,
Glamorganshire with her husband (my Gt Gt Grandfather ROGER JONES) and
family. This Census shows her as aged 28 and born in Pontrhydygroes,
Cardiganshire
I can find Pontrhydygroes Post Office on the 1881 but that name doesn't seem
to be on the 1861
So who was the REES JONES, father of CATHERINE JONES born c1851-53 in
Pontrhydygroes, Cardiganshire
Regards
Peter Jones

Tree

Hi everyone
I am looking for information on Roger Jones, born 13 April 1853 in Can
Office, Llangurig and his wife, Catherine Jones who I think was the daughter
of Rees and Mary Jones.
I believe that Roger was the son of David Jones, baptised 14 March 1813 and
Sarah Jenkins, baptised 3 February 1813.
David Jones, who would be my Gt Gt Grandfather may have been the son of an
Edward and Margaret Jones who were married on 21 May 1791.
If anyone else is researching this family perhaps we can exchange
information.
Regards
Peter Jones
