Hi list.
My 2xg'grandfather Roland JONES (Rowland ap Thomas) and wife Catherine Jones
nee ANGEL are buried in St Cadfan's churchyard with their 2nd daughter Anne.
The M.I's show the following :- "No 851 In Memory of Rowland Jones died July
17. 1810, age 50. also Anne 2nd daughter. died June 18. 1861 aged 70. also
Catherine wife of Rowland Jones. died Feb 9. 1843 age 72". Rowland and
Catherine were married 14 Nov 1788 Towyn Mer and the witnesses were Oliver
Parry and John Thomas.
Rowland Jones was born 1763 Isygarreg, Machynlleth, MGY, the son of Thomas
Jones and wife Mary -?, his known siblings are John b 1760 and Elizabeth b
1765. (have assumed that the witness John Thomas is Rowlands brother John).
Research so far has shown that Rowland and Catherine's family consisted of:-
Anne b 1790. Angel b 1792. Margaret b 1795. Elizabeth b 1797. John b 1799.
Catherine b 1805. Jane b 1808.
The 1st born daughter has not been found, and any information would be
appreciated.
Close to the grave of Rowland and Catherine is another one of a Rowland
Jones, the M.I is as follows;-
"No, 850

Richard Griffiths some considerable time ago was kind enough to send me
census details of this Rowland Jones and his wife Anne which was much
appreciated but I have not had any luck in finding Rowland's birth or
parents details with a view to see if there is a family connection with my
Rowland Jones who incidentally was also a Mason.
Can anyone please assist.
