I have established that my ancestor Jane Coningsby was the daughter of Coningsby Griffith
of Tan y Graig, Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog. He left a will in 1781, but was not buried at
Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog.
However in 1744 a Coningsby Griffith held Tyn Pwll in Llangristiolus, a neighbouring
parish, so if these are the same people, then Llangristiolus is a likely candidate for his
burial place, and also for the christening of his daughters.
His daughter Jane died in 1824 aged 93, so she would have been born in 1731, but she was
not christened in Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog.

I'm glad you are making progress with the Coningsbys. You have probably seen
the reference from the Land Tax Assessment 1744, to Coningsby Griffith who
held land at 'Tun Pwll', in the Anglesey Transactions 1977-8, p.19.
Ty'n-y-Pwll is shown on the current large-scale (1:25K)OS map.
Coningsby is such a rare name, so please let us know who was the first to
use the name in Anglesey.
Regards, David
