    1. [Dyfed] George JONES born Pwllchrochan 1767
    2. Meg Hoppe
    3. Thanks to list members, I have identifed George JONES born about 1767 in Pwllchrochan, as a potential father of my William JONES who married Mary GRIFFITHS. He is on the 1841 Census in Pembroke St Michael with his wife Martha and on the 1851 Census with his adopted son William Fowler and family. I have what appears to be his marriage - George JONES and Martha THOMAS in St Michaels Pembroke in 1793 - and the baptism of his children Mary in 1799 and William in 1803. Does anyone have access to the parish records for Pwllchrochan? I am wondering if there is a baptism for George in Pwllchrochan around 1767, and possibly for Martha THOMAS around 1765. I am also curious if there were any FOWLERs in Pwllchrochan. George's adopted son William Fowler was baptized as a natural son in 1803 in St Mary's, Pembroke. His own son William named his oldest son George Fowler JONES, so I think there may be a family connection with a FOWLER family. (The only other Fowler I have found in Pembroke is George FOWLER who was a Wesleyan Methodist preacher in 1803.) Also I'd like to find burial records in Pembroke (probably St Michaels) for George and Martha JONES. There are 7 death registrations for George Jones in Pembroke between 1852-1860 - he would have been 85 or older at the time. Martha died between 1842 and 1848 - there are 5 possible registrations for her. Her age would probably have been entered as at least 75. And I am hoping there is a will somewhere for George - I am not sure where to look for a will. I'd appreciate any information or suggestions. Meg BC, Canada
