Thanks for the try Alwyn. I have the family in Wilkes Barre , Pa after they returned to
the US where another son was born. I also have Elizabeths family in Tre Taliesen from 1841
to 1881. Thanks again for the look up.

This is a difficult one.
I can find neither an Elizabeth or a Jane Pri(t)chard, of anything near the
right ages, born in Cardiganshire on the 1871 Censuses so far transcribed by
Ancestry.
Despite the useful O it is impossible to decide which one of the many
hundreds of John Jones born in Anglesey might be yours.
It is possible that both the Pritchard family and the Jones family were in
the USA in 1871, and, as their eldest children were born in America, that John
and Elizabeth married in the US before returning to Wales?
Have you found any of the family in later census returns in either Wales or
the US (if they went back there) that might help point to a town, parish or
village of birth which may be easier to search for than just the Counties given
in 1881?
all the best
