    1. [WLS-PEM] William Jones of Dinas Cross
    2. Can anyone please help me find the correct birthplace for my great grandfather? He was born William Jones, son of John Jones, joiner. In the 1901 census his age was 37 and birthplace Dinas Cross, Pembs., and he was a joiner. In 1888 he married Margaret Ann Forrest in Swansea aged 34, so there is a 10 years or so discrepancy with his date of birth. The only William Jones I have so far found in the 1881 census to fit was an apprentice carpenter aged 17 and birthplace Dinas, who was at the house of William Phillips Carpenter Master of Bwlchclawdd, Llanfyrnach. I only found out last week that there is another Dinas near Llanfyrnach and now I'm unsure which Dinas he was born in. (I know that Llanfyrnach is near the border of Pembs and Carms). We spent a lovely afternoon last Saturday looking round the graveyards in both Dinas' for inspiration, but to no avail. Any advice would be very welcome. Marguarite
