JONES & HUMPHREYS in The Sun Inn, Llandrillos Yn Rhos in 1871

[Yegvard]

Hi Folks,

Please can anyone provide any further information, at all, on this family who were in The Sun Inn, Llandrillo-Yn-Rhos, Denbighshire in the 1871 census:

John JONES, 39, Publican & Farmer, from Bettws
Mary J JONES, 28, , Meifod
Pryce WILLIAMS, 28, Butcher, Meifod Brother-in-law
Elizabeth WILLIAMS, 29, Meifod  Sister-iin-law
William HUMPHREY, 10, Scholar, Staffordshire  An unrelated boarder - I think
Margt JONES, 23, Servant, Llanfair Talhaiam   Not knowingly related

Ref: RG10; Piece: 5738; Folio: 77; Page: 26

I am tracking from the past forwards in time.

By 1861 my 2 x great aunts had left Welshpool, having been born in Meifod, and were both working has servants in a very posh house in Hannington, in Wiltshire.  Details:

Elizabeth HUMPHREYS, born 1840, Meifiod
Mary Jane HUMPHREYS, born 1841/42, Meifod
        Parents: Robert HUMPHREYS and Mary JONES

These details seem to fit very nicely with the above census.

Kind regards

Mike

You have presumably already confirmed the 2 marriages from freebmd?

Have you looked for them in later censuses?

Hi,

If I have the right families then Elizabeth married Q4 1870 in Bangor District
and Mary Jane married Q2 1869, Conway District.

Again if the 1871 is correct, then Elizabeth and Pri(y)ce return to Meifod for the 1881.

I haven't found Mary Jane yet.
