Hello, I have narrowed down my JONES haystack just a little. Today I received the death certificate of Lettice Jones, widow of John JONES. The area of the haystack they are in is called Llannon which I think is a hundred or a sub-district? The residence is called Bank y Tumble or Bank y Humble or Bank y Jumble depending on what this letter is, I guess it could even be Fumble? The certificate says wife of John Jones Collier so I assume he outlived her. She died Seventieth November 1848, so I assume they meant 17th of November, either that or November had a whole lot more days in 1848 than it does now? Anyway, I am at a loss as to what to do next. How do you narrow down a John Jones in Wales? HELP!!! Thank you, Shanna Jones shannajones@charter.net
Tumble sounds right; it's a district of Llanelli. There is no easy way to narrow down John Jones in Wales. I'm a Jones; I have Jones marrying Jones amongst my grand and great grandparents in Glamorganshire; that is a whole lot worse than it happening in Carmarthenshire!
