Julie Preston,
Thank you for all your work helping me with the Jones family of Coedtalog. I
am fairly new to genealogy and I have only been working on our families for
about 4 years. During this time I have chased down my wife's family here in
the States and my mother's family in British Columbia. Gradually I have
attempted to find information in Great Britain and have not been too
successful. The greatest help given me are from the people at Powys History
Center and Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society. I have been a member of
both groups for two years and they have been a great help. When I attempt to
cross the Welsh East border to other counties I have become disillusioned of
the disdain of overseas cousins.
Julie, you are unbelievable, I have all the tools you have suggested I need
in order to pursue my kin yet you have found information I have overlooked.
I have the names missing from the 1881 census below-unfortunately I wasn't
smart enough to fill in the blanks.

Stan,
I just went through the "neighborhood" in the 1881 Census Index and came
up
with what I believe are probably the same JONES' family, as the
size of
the
farm is approximately the same and it's in the same area.
Unfortunately,
the original sheets must've been impossible for the transcriber to read
(Dwelling name and all first names are missing), so I suggest you order
the
1871 and 1891 Census for the parish of Llanerfyl, Montgomeryshire,
from
the
nearest LDS Family History Center, and have a look for this family.
