John Jones, Caeglas, Llandwrog (or Llanwnda)
« on: Thursday 28 March 13 23:02 GMT (UK) »
Went to the churchyard at Llanwnda at the beginning of the week hoping to find my gggrandparents grave.
Not a profitable exercise due to the cold and the size of the churchyard.
Now I am wondering if anyone who has access to the MIs would be willing to look it up for me.
John and Elizabeth Jones, Talysarn, formerly of Caeglas.  John died around 1896. I was hoping that I could find out when Elizabeth died from the headstone.
Thanks
Pip

Hi,
Had a look at Llanwnda Parish Burial Register at Caernarfon Archives today. Latest one they've got ends 03/03/1896. No John or Elizabeth in 1896. Probably the one after that is still in use. Didn't have time to look at MIs - had a bus to catch !  What reason have you to believe that the burials were at Llanwnda Parish Church cemetery ? Talysarn is in the Parish of Llanllyfni, so they could have been buried in any of a number of cemeteries in that Parish, or ones in cemeteries within the Parish of Llandwrog, which lies between the two.
Further info required to be able to help you.
Emyr

Hi,

I have Gwynedd Family History Society's Booklet with a list of burials for Salem Chapel, Llanllyfni and there are "possible" entries which could be your John and Elizabeth.

Can you please give their dates of birth and I will look again at the booklet.

Alan

 Since my previous posting  I have found John Jones' obituary in "Gwyliedydd"  30 Nov 1898. It  states that he died on 18 Nov and was buried in the Church Cemetry, Llanwnda. ( Claddwyd ym mynwent yr Eglwys, Llanwnda)
From censuses they appear to have left Caeglas in the 1880's.
Their son named his house Caeglas and the name has followed  the family as an unofficial surname!!!
Diolch

Hi
GFHS MIs M236 , Llanwnda, St Gwyndaf, Dinas:
 D076  "Er parchus gof am John Jones, Taleryr, Talysarn (gynt o Caeglas, Llanwnda) yr hwn a fu farw Tachwedd 18 1898 yn 65 mlwydd oed. Hefyd ei briod Elizabeth Jones yr hon a fu farw Hydref 6  1913 yn 73 mlwydd oed."

In respectful memory of John Jones, Taleryr, Talysarn (formerly of Caeglas, Llanwnda) who died November 18 1898 aged 65 years. Also his spouse Elizabeth Jones who died October 6  1913 aged 73 years.
Have noted the section of the graveyard where the grave is, but not exact location. Will call at the cemetery in the next week or so.
