Ishmael Jones bapt,

[Gadget]

Found a ref in the Wrexham  Weekly Advertizer, Nov 15 1856  from a Wesleyan meeting

The Rev Ishmael Jones of the same place (i.e. Wrexham) read extracts ....

Also in January 1857 - now referred to as Mr!

There are quite a few to go through and not sure it's him. 

I'll report back if I find anything interesting.

JONES , ISHMAEL ( 1794 - 1876 ), Independent minister ; b. in a thatched house called Plas-yn-pant , Ponciau, Denbs. , son of Thomas and Elizabeth Jones . In his early days he was a coal-miner , but in spite of the blue scars on his face he would not admit to having been one. He fell under the spell of William Williams ( 1781 - 1840 ) (q.v.) , of Wern , and shortly after joining the Independents began to preach . He was at Hackney College before being ordained to the ministry. His was a wandering ministry, for he was completely incapable of managing people. In 1847 he returned to his native district where he spent the remainder of his life. He d. 9 Sept. 1876 and was buried at Wern , near Wrexham . He was an unusual preacher and, at times, is said to have been as moving as Williams of Wern himself. His wit and the originality of some of his sayings made him celebrated.

That's great, thanks very much. So now I have his parents, hopefully his sister Jane has the same parents, if I find her baptism, and thus another sister is Mariah.
