Dear Ann, My Cardiganshire ancestor is John James JONES born Trelech Abt. 1859. Writing this makes me realise that I haven't yet checked the Welsh PRs on FMP for him yet. I was amazed at the amount of John Jones ancestors this JJJ had! It was baffling and very confusing.

My line is from John Jones Cardiganshire (Llanddewi Brefi) but unfortunately they are numerous in that area and the trick is to find which line I want. I am researcing a John who was born about 1750 and was a gentleman of Coedmawr Llanddewi but after this John the family fortunes seem to have taken a bit of a nose dive!

I am also researching two separate lines of John JONES and have them both in all census where they are as John JONES. One family is of Upper Neath Valley and the other who married a Mary JONES [ can't get away from them can I?] came from Cardiganshire. Maybe because you have failed to find your ancestor that you have decided he was using patronymics? I note that you use FMP if that is your nice to look at website of Londales? We could perhaps help you in your search if you could give us his possible date of birth and place he was born. Is there a particular name or occupation in the family that could distinguish this particular family? I was sure I had mine when I found Periniah Jones, who had been my gt aunt's aunt who had described her and given me her name, which stuck in my mind. I found that FMP sometimes does not have some pages of a census - even recently an 1881 entry which seemed odd, especially when I searched ancestry I found this immediately - all three census years.

I believe that EVAN is a Welsh name for John, are there any other Welsh male names that also mean JOHN.
