Jones who was vicar of St. Dogmaels for 50 years, and husband of Margaret Makeig, but I have found this myself. So here it is for the enlightenment of all of us. Under Burials at St. Dogmaels 1813-37 <snip> 1829 Thomas Morgan Jones, son of the late Rev. Wm. Jones, late respected Minister of this parish, St. Dogmells, Swylon R.A., 17 Sept. (aged) 47. An Elizabeth Letitia Jones, Trecefn, parish of Verwick, died in 1833, 14th. Oct. aged 48.....probably widow of David Jones above. I have no idea what Swylon R.A. means......Royal Academy, Royal Artillery, whatever?????? Bettye Kirkwood. Bettye & Marlena, My own transcription of this record says "Surgeon R.A." - I interpret R.A. as Royal Artillery. Regards Bill (a bit of a backlog on my email at present!)

Dear Bill, Thanks. That makes sense. Mine is a typed entry, so it must be a translator's error.
