Hi All I saw a posting from Dewi Evans on the glamorgan list and noticed that he had JONES & WILLIAMS among his interests and so, I thought that I would post mine again and see if perhaps they match with his or anyone else's. My maternal grandmother was CATHERINE WILLIAMS, whose address, when she married in BRIGEND in 1905, was 56 HIGH STREET, PONTYCYMMER; Her age was listed as 24yrs so I presume that she was born in 1881; Her father was listed as WILLIAM WILLIAMS, MASTER MARINER,( MERCHANT SEAMAN) This is all info from her marriage certificate,so I have no clue of her mother's name. She married DAVID JONES, (A COLLIER). His address in 1905 was 14 ALBANY ROAD, PONTYCYMMER. He was born in 1880. I have found his family in the 1891 Census at 6 ALBANY ROAD, PONTYCYMMER and they are : HEAD: JOHN JONES 46YRS COALMINER WIFE: ELIZABETH JONES 48YRS DAUGHTER: MARGARET JONES 2OYRS WASHERWOMAN SON: JOHN JONES 18YRS COALMINER SON: METHUSALEM JONES 13YRS SON: DAVID JONES 11YRS SON: THOMAS JONES 1YR BOARDER: WILLIAM HARRIS 25YRS COALMINER All the members of the JONES family were born in LLANFIHANGEL, CARDIGAN , WALES. I have also found them in the 1881 census at TAEGWINION, CYNNIL MAWR, CARDIGAN; At that time,the oldest son, JEREMIAH JONES was listed as well. I presume that by 1891, Jeremiah had left home and possibly married. CATHERINE and DAVID JONES immigrated to SOUTH AFRICA in 1920/1921 with two of their children: JOHN WILLIAMS JONES born 1910 in PONTYCYMMER and ELIZABETH ANN JONES born in 1914 in PONTYCYMMER. Their eldest child DAVID CECIL JONES born in 1906 in PONTYCYMMER did not accompany the family to SA. DAVID CECIL JONES married FLORENCE ADA MYERS in BRIGEND in 1927. Their first child was AUDREY LORRAINE JONES born in SALFORD MANCHESTER IN 1928. This is all I know about this long lost uncle of mine. Do any of the names fit into anyone else's family tree??? If so, I would love to hear from you!! Cathrine Watson. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
