I am researching my ggrandmother Margaret HUMPHREYS (b.29.2.1856 in
Ffestiniog) who married Richard JONES (b.6.2.1857 in Glyn Ceiriog).
They lived in Blaneau Ffestiniog and Richard worked as a quarryman in
the slate mines. At the time of the 1881 Census they lived in Lord St,
Blaneau Ffestiniog, in 1883 they lived at LLwyn y Gill and in the 1891
Census had moved to Holland View, Blaneau Ffestiniog. Margaret died on
17.4.1894 in child birth and is buried at St Michaels, Ffestiniog
I believe Margaret's parents were John HUMPHREYS and Jane ROBERTS but I
have not verified this.
Richard and Margaret had the following children;
Jane Anne JONES b. 14 Oct 1876
John Ifan JONES b. 13 Oct 1878
Lewis b. JONES 14 June 1880 d. 23 Jan 1881
Richard Ceiriog JONES b. 6 Nov 1881
Margaret Olwen JONES b. 16 Nov 1883 d. Aug 1954 (my grandmother)
Blodwen Mary JONES b. 29 May 1887
Bleddyn ap Gryffud JONES b. 9 Sep 1889
Edward JONES b. 15 Feb 1893 d. 15 Feb 1893
Idris Wynn Owen JONES b. 16 April 1894
I was wondering if anyone on the list has any connection to Margaret's
family.
Thanks
