Wales / Occupation query...
« on: Friday 07 January 22 13:50 GMT (UK)  »
Happy new year all!

I hope someone can help... trying to tie up a relavite's "Occupation" on the 1871 Census... Shows as "Farmer 43 2 10 A.R.P"...

So am very familiar with Farmer, but No ideas abotu the numbers or "A.R.P".... Any thoughts?

The main issue i'm having is confirming the marriage of Evan Jones 1844-1907 to Ann (Hughes?) Jones 1845-1923... I've a marriage record but this shows Evan as Quarryman and living in a different address, albeit not so far away... (Although not unusual for Farmers or Quarrymen to dabble in either trade).. my train of thoughts is he left home and took up residence closer to slate quarries for work but then returned to farming, taking up residence closer to his paternal home.

I just wanted to see if the "43 2 10 ARP" had any significance.... seems other farmers have similar Numbers and "ARP" as well...

Any help or suggestions very greatfully received  :)

Hi,

I'm new to this so apologies if this is in the wrong place..... just thought id share a very useful page that's helped me work through my ancestry in North Wales.... never easy... apparently Jones is a very popular surname....

It's mostly based around the Lleyn Peninsula, Gwynedd, or Caernarvonshire previously....

Caernarvonshire / Edward Jones Llanfrothen 1820 - 1888

Help!

I'm trying to trace my 3xg grandfathers siblings and parents. All I know of him is he lived in Gatehouse Parc, Llanfrothen, and died in 1888 house named as Brondanw Uchaf on his Gravestone, which is at Ramoth Chapel Cemetery, Llanfrothen. He is buried there with his Wife Alice, and His Daughter Catherine, and son John Edward Jones.

Any advice? I live in Cardiff but often travel up, just not often enough to be able to use the archives etc...so far!!

Any help tips and advice is greatly appreciated in advance.

Dymuniadau Gorau,

Med.
