Hello everybody,
I am stuck in trying to find further info about my great-grandmother,
Margaret Ellen JONES (sorry!), daughter of Evan JONES, a farmer. They lived
in Llanfair Caereinion. She was born about 1858, and Evan was dead when she
married in 1884.
I have checked the 1881 census: there were 2 farmers called Evan JONES, one
at Hengefn and the other at Penarth. Margaret had by this time left home
(she married in Liverpool). Of course it could be that her father had
already died and neither of these is he. For example there is an Elizabeth
JONES, widowed, farming at Mount Farm, and a Jane JONES, also widowed,
farming at Nant y Cae Isa.
If any of you have access to the census records for Llanfair Caereinion for
1861 and 1871 would you please check these farms to see if there is a
daughter Margaret Ellen born around 1858.
Thanks, and Merry Christmas to all!
Richard Francis
