    1. Jones Family
    2. Debra Jahn
    3. I am hoping for help on researching the following families : My great-grandfather was Owen Jones born in Caerhun Parish, Caernarvonshire, Wales. Sources indicate different birth dates for him, however, they are all in the range of February or March 1851-1853. He was the son of John Jones & Mary (Owen?) Jones and was to have been the 4th of their 7 children. His only siblings that I have identified thus far are John, born about 1862 and Margaret, born about 1857. I have located the John Jones family in the 1871, 1881 and 1891 census living at Cae Fadog, Caerhun, Caernarvonshire, Wales. In 1871 and 1881, the elder John's occupation is quarryman. In 1891, he is listed as a farmer. By 1881, Margaret is married to William Williams; next entry to the John Jones family (also in 1891). The son, John, is not listed with his parents in the 1891 census. He may have married Margaret ? who died in 1916. It is possible that he died in 1901 and that him and his wife are buried at Talybont Chapel Churchyard. About 1874, my great grandfather, Owen, married Margaret Jones, (born 30 June 1851) daughter of Richard John Jones and Elizabeth Jones. The Richard Jones family have been located in the 1851 census at 504 High Street Bethesda in Llanllechid; in the 1871 and 1881 census at Tyn Y Maes, Llanllechid. My great-grandparents, Owen and Margaret, were located in the 1881 census at 22 Goronwy Street, Llanllechid, with their 3 children who were born in Wales (Mary, Richard and John). In July 1881, they immigrated to the United States. Any information will be appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, Deb Jahn
