I am interested in knowing more info about my ancestors.
Mary Richard daughter of Evan Richard of Cowarch, Merionethshire born 1723
married Griffith Jones May 12 1745. They had 3 children - Gwen Griffith B.
Nov. 6 1745; Richard Griffith b. Feb. 17 1750 and Mary Griffith Aug. 28
1753.
Griffith Jones died Nov. 11 1735 at Deunant - Mary Richard died 1795 at
Deunant age 73
From my research, I feel Richard Griffith could be my
g.g.g.grandfather. I
found a marriage between a Richard Grififith and a Jane Jones
May 5, 1781
which could be right. They had the following children that I know for sure:
Jane May 22, 1785, ??
Elizabeth March 16, 1790 -perhaps married a Hugh Jones and had daughter
Jane, son Thomas and daughter Mary - Elizabeth died Sept. 1873 age 83
William - Mary 24, 1795 - married Mary Ellis and had 3 children. He died
Aug. 18 1845 at Corris - Am in contact with his descendants
Evan - Oct. 6, 1798 - is my g.g.grandfather - He married
Margaret Evans in 1823 and they had 6 children. Evan died July 1, 1865 at
Llechwedd but buried in the
Llanymawddwy Cemetery
John ??
My grandfather and his 3 siblings and his father William (son of Evan)
emigrated to Canada in 1883. His wife Alice had died in 1882 and because
they lived at Lake Vyrnwy and it was being flooded they left for Canada.
If any of these names and places are familiar with anybody, I would
certainly appreciate getting in touch with them. I live in Alberta, Canada
and just returned from a trip to your beautiful country.
