Well it's good to hear that Anne Joneses from Merioneth can be found. It gives me
hope.
I have very little to go on with my Anne - no chance of a family bible turning up. Anne
died giving birth to her first child (my grandfather) who was brought up by his
father's sister, he apparently had little if any contact with his mother's family.
I have Anne's death certificate and her grave is in Bethesda Cemy Blaenau but nothing
else at all, not a photo, nothing. It's all hingeing on finding her marriage.

very difficult. However, when we found her Welsh bible (it was with a cousin), she had

Owen Thomas Thomas. They were from Dolgellau. I would never have foiund her otherwise as I
