I'm new to this list and have just seen your generous offer. I hope you can still help. I am looking for (dare I say it) Jones! Edward Thomas and his wife Mary Lloyd. They lived at Bryn Celyn and were married in Holy Trinity church in 1845. I am afraid I don't know when they died, I am just hoping you may have found the couple there. As far as I know they had one son Thomas Lloyd Jones with the possibility of a second son John.
I  don't thik this is much to go on, but thanks for the offer.

Hi Carol. Sorry I am a bit late in replying but it's the first time today that I have checked my mail. Here Goes.     In Affectionate remebrance of
                                   Mary
                 the beloved wife of Edward Jones
                        of Bryn Celyn Farm
                who departed this life Feb 21 1887
                               Aged 67 years
                        also the above named
                            Edward Jones
             who departed this life April 14 1890
                         aged 71 years.

They are in Grave No E 14 which is on left hand side of the Path from the Front Gate to the Door of the Church.  Close to the Wall.  Sorry I don't have any pictures only inscriptions in the booklet. You say his wife Mary was a Lloyd. There are also Lloyd's buried in Gwernaffield as well.  Pam

 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Pam, you certainly weren't long in replying - i only posted last night.
This information brings together various bits and pieces and confirms the family in many ways. That is so great.

I might get back to you about the Lloyd's when I find a few more details, but in the meanwhile Thank you so much.

Good afternoon, I am researching my Griffiths roots through the Cilcain area. It is possible that my 3rd Great Grandparents may be buried in Gwenaffield as, according to the census I have attributed to them, they moved across to Gwenaffield at some time between 1841 and 1851. They were Thomas and Sarah Griffiths. Thomas was born around 1806 and Sarah around 1802. I think Sarah died in 1851 but I have no idea about Thomas. So I would be grateful for anything you may have that could fit these sort of dates.

Regards,

Mark

Hi. Mark. The only Sarah in the Churchyard was the wife of a David Griffiths late of The Old Toll House. Bryn. She died January 12th 1965 aged 82. which doesn't match either. and the only Thomas in another grave is buried with his parents William and Martha. That Thomas died September 1st 1887 aged 36 yrs.
 GRIFFITH No S. Another Sarah Buried in 1912 wife of Isaac Griffith and their daughter Sarah Elizabeth aged 2 months old. No entries in the New Cemetery or the Chapel in Pantymwyn. There are other Griffiths if you need any checked. I don't mind. Also do you know where they married as a lot of people in those days were buried in the church they married in. Pam

Post by: markeymark2000 on Saturday 12 November 16 14:14 GMT (UK)
Pam, many thanks for looking at my post so quickly. It could be that Sarah is buried in Cilcain and maybe Thomas as well. I visited Cilcain church some time ago and took a few photos but this was before I knew that Thomas and Sarah were my 3rd Great Grandparents. I may well have missed their headstone or it may even have been unreadable or have been removed.  Neither am I sure that Thomas remained in Gwernaffield after the death of Sarah so it is all a bit sketchy - as ancestry can be! The missing 1861 Census of Cilcain makes everything all the more difficult as well. So, not to worry, the next time I am in the area I will endeavour to get across to Cilcain and have a second look. Thanks again for your kind help. Mark
