I have my grandparents' marriage certificate, which I call the Jones Certificate. The bride and groom were both Jones, therefore so were the fathers, as were the witnesses, and the vicar, and believe it or not the Registrar as well 
Needless to say they were married in Wales.
Cheers Dave (Jones)

Sounds like a great programme, however , in my case (or grandparents' case) it was north Cardiganshire - she lived in Trefeurig and he, an itinerant tailor, lived in Llancynfelin. I guess he got about a bit 
There is a programme which uses the 1881 census to show the distribution of surnames - http://www.spatial-literacy.org/UCLnames/default.aspx - using this it shows the greatest concentraton of Jones was in the northern half of Wales. My folks just squeaked into the area!!
Cheers Dave

No Jones yet but I do have surname Thomas in Wales which I got stuck on early in 1800's. My main bugbears are a couple of lines in Norfolk with the surnames 'Smith' and 'Smythe'. If anyone's found why they've got different spellings, I'm all ears 
Cheers,
Rena

Where should I post my JONES interests if they keep jumping back and to across the Welsh / English boundary? I think two posts would defeat the object!?
Anyway here they are:
Trying to find out what happened to my grt grandfather Maurice JONES’ siblings, I know my Nan would like to know too (she’s 80 you know!)
William JONES and Sarah Jane JONES (nee VAUGHAN aka HUXLEY) issue:
Jane JONES b. c1874 Rhosnessney – have in 1881 (Wrexham) with family but not there in 1891 (Wrexham) aged c17
Wonder if she is Jane JONES who d. Sept qua 1881, Wrexham aged 8?
William Herbert JONES b. c1877 Wrexham – have in 1881 and 1891 with family but not located in 1901 – aged 24-26
Wonder is he the militia man in Beaumaris at the Prince of Wales Inn in 1901?
Charles JONES b c1878, Wrexham – have in 1881 but again not there in 1891 with family aged c13
Wonder if he is Charles JONES who d. Mar qua 1885, Wrexham aged 8?
Sarah A. JONES see post in http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,310799.msg1921207.html#msg1921207
Emily JONES b. c1881 Wrexham – not in 1881 but appears in 1891, she disappears in 1901.
Not sure if she still alive or married, too many possible results!
Phoebe JONES b c1881 – 1883 her age changes but did find her marriage in 1903, at St James, Latchford, Warrington to Ernest G. DOWNES
She is back in Wrexham on her mother’s death certificate in 1919.
Maurice JONES 1882 – 1965 m. 1904 at St Paul, Warrington and m. 1927 at St John, Earlestown, Newton-In-Makerfield
Frederick (Fred) JONES b. c1887, Wrexham – all we know is he had a small holding in Walton, Warrington.
Catherine JONES cFeb1888 – cJan 1889
Kate (Kitty) JONES b. c1890 Wrexham – have her in 1891 (Wrexham) with family and 1901 (Warrington) with family.
Hope that hasn’t confused everyone – it’s a work in progress!

Just found another JONES link (not connected to my post above) linked to my LANE ancestors:
William JONES b. c1857 Balmer Heath, Salop
m. 1883, St Paul, Warrington, Lancs
Christiana LANE b. c1860 Yorkshire
issue:
Thomas JONES b. c1881 Earlestown, Lancashire
Lizzie JONES b. c1885 Earlestown
Mary JONES b. c1887 Earlestown (may have died aged 4 in 1891)
Annie JONES b. c1887 Earlestown
Martha JONES b. c1890 Earlestown
Ethel JONES b. c1892 Earlestown
Edwin JONES b. c1894 Earlestown
Harry JONES b. c1896 Earlestown
Sarah E. JONES b. c1900 Earlestown
does it ever end?
