William John Jones of Tregarth family connections
« on: Tuesday 17 June 14 19:25 BST (UK) »
Is there any one that can please help. I am looking for family connections with my late Grandfather Mr William John Jones, born 1908-1954 Son of William John Jones of Tregarth, Machno villa... which is situated between Bethesda and Bangor. His resting place is at the little chapel in Tregarth. (Worked at the slate Quarry in Bethesda and was well known as an artist/copyist/Illustrator.

Many thanks,
 
Glen.  :)

Additional information.. Cousins of William John Jones - Jenny Williams, Mary Williams, Richard Williams. Richard Williams and his wife Ivy, owned a confectionary corner shop from what I remember back in the 70's-80's, in Bangor by the harbour area. Richard and Ivy had a son and daughter...David and Carol.  :)

Nearest small confectionary shops are the one on Beach Road next to Hackers Tyres and facing the George V playing field that has a football field on it. The other was on the road to the Pier and was run for years by Tommy Jones former manager of Bangor City football club.
If there is a headstone on the grave I can take a photo of it. I live quite close.

If your father was called Glyn or your mother was called Gillian and your grandfather was killed in an accident at Ringway Airport on 12 June 1954, then the following information may help.

His grave is at Gelli, Tregarth (ref: A 013) where his father's ashes (William) are also buried. His grandfather (John William) and grandmother (Jane) are buried in that grave too, together with two other of their children (Thomas and Margaret). His father's other children have not moved too far from Luton, except for Megan, who lives in Australia with her daughter(s) and granddaughter(s).

His grandparents had 6 other children (Susannah Catherine, John Machno, Thomas, Robert, Jane Ann and Margaret Ellen). Susannah Catherine had 4 children (Jane Ellen, Mary Catherine, Margaret Elizabeth and Richard John). John Macho had 3 children in so far as I am aware (John {died at 2 weeks of age}, Mabel and Norman). Robert, I have not got any details for as yet. Jane Ann had 2 children (Doreen and Eileen).

I do have some further names of later generations, but the above should be sufficient to enable you to know whether this is the family line that you seek. Let me know.
