hi groom
Thanks for the details on the 1871; the way I read the grave stone it appears the son Hugh may have died in Montgomery before the family relocated to Wales. Can I ask for a look-up on the 1861 and 1851.

There are several that could be them in 1851, but were they married then?
There is a single Hugh Jones of the right age born Machynlleth, Montgomeryshire, but he is a farmer of 60 acres.

Hello Groom
Thank you so much; the 1861 details has the answer regarding the son Hugh; it appears he died when the family were in Blaina.
Thank you
