Could there be a link with CONINGSGBY WILLIAMS of Penmynydd? There's a copy
of his Will, 1708, in the Tynygongl Papers at UWB Archives, Bangor (see
www.archiveshub.ac.uk ).
There was a CUNINGSBY WILLIAMS of Trefriw, - Probate 1689 (see NLW Index}
and CONINGSBY WILLIAMS was patron of Conway parish church in early 18th
Cent.
These might be false trails, but you never know. Have you checked the Index
of Bangor Diocese Wills (copy at Caernarfon R.O.)?
Regards,
David Price, Bangor

Mr Iolo Wyn Griffiths,

I would be grateful if you could put the following in the Can you help?
section in Gwreiddiau Gwynedd Roots.
In 1760 a Jane Coningsby married a Griffith Thomas at Llanfihangel
Ysgeifiog, and four other female Coningsbys also married in the same parish
during 1760-70, which I presume must be her sisters, but I have not found
any Coningsby christenings there during the 1730s and 1740s.
Finding the Coningsbys will be complicated by the fact that there are no
Coningsby entries in the name index in Anglesey County Archives, nor in
Griffith's Pedigrees, nor in the index to the Anglesey Antiquarian Society
Transactions. Any information on any Coningsbys in Anglesey (or indeed
anywhere in North Wales) will be most welcome
