Thomas Jones is my 2nd great grandfather
Birth abt 1827 in  Tregarth, Llandegai, Caernarfonshire, Wales
Death 26 September 1881 in Penrhyn Quarry, Bethesda

He was married twice, both wives Christian names were Elizabeth. If anyone has any info about him regarding his parents and siblings I would be grateful. His father was John Jones, from Gors, Llandegai.

Dewi

Hi again, could I just ask, how do you know he married 2 Elizabeth's and what of all the deaths confirms the one shown in your original post?

Have you any marriage certificates, parish records to show his marriages?

I'm guessing this is his death - report from 30 Sept 1881.

http://welshnewspapers.llgc.org.uk/en/page/view/3559738/ART39/craig%20y%20pandy

Gives his address as Craig y Pandy, but although there are Joneses there in 1881, not one of that age
