Trying to find the parents of William and Ann Jones who lived on the farm Bancog, Capel Garmon, Denbighshire from around 1825 to the 1850’s before moving to Dolwyddelan, Caernarfonshire. Because there are so many Jones’s it is proving difficult finding the right one.
The censuses from 1851 to 1881 consistently point to William being born between April 1789 and April 1790 while Ann was born between April 1796 and April 1797 and the place of their birth was Capel Garmon. The couple were married in Capel Garmon on 30th October 1819 no parents’ names are given only the two witnesses William Jones and John Jones. Their first child, another William Jones, was born the following year. They had nine children named in order William, John, Margaret, Anne, Elinor, Hannah, Gwen, Elizabeth and Humphrey.
Looking at the baptism records on Findmypast there seems to be two possibilities for Ann
1796 June 10th Anne daughter of William Jones of Plas yn Rhos by Margaret his Wife
1797 May 28th Anne daughter of William Vaughan of Unys by Eleanor his Wife
The first one being my favourite without any proof. Could the father be the William Jones who was a witness?
There are more possibilities for William:
1789
May 19th William son of William Jones Garthgarmon by Margaret his Wife
June 30th William son of Humphrey Jones of Tybrith Uchaf by Margaret his Wife
November 2nd William son of John Williams of Garthgarmon by Eleanor his Wife
1790
April 20th William son of Henry Jones of Tybrith Uchaf by Anne his Wife
Any ideas on how to proceed from here would be gratefully accepted.
