Aidan, The excerpt I quoted didn't mention the University, but the article from which it came made it clear that John Jones went to Glasgow University; he was a student at Carmarthen before winning his Williams scholarship. Scholars took Theology degrees at Glasgow University - that's where he went for two years, but he then lost his scholarship so did not complete his degree.

The Carmarthen Academy (which I repeat is not to be confused with Trinity College) had no powers to issue any degrees as early as 1836. In pre-St David's College Lampeter days, students for the Anglican ministry in St David's diocese often studied on one of the courses offered by the five episcopally-approved Grammar Schools at Ystrad Meurig, Carmarthen (i.e. Queen Elizabeth - once again not to be confused with the presbyterian academy or with Trinity College), Brecon, Lampeter (i.e. the old grammar school), and Cardigan.
