Do you know her mothers maiden name?
-
The 1852 entry - mothers maiden name (mmn) was Owen
1853 - mmn was Parry
1854 - no mmn so probably illegitimate
-
The Llaniestyn parish baptism 24 April 1853 is
Jane daughter of Humphrey & Margaret Hughes Bryntirion Labourer.
Glyn

Thank you all much appreciated. I have a Jane Hughes born 1853 Llaniestyn marrying a John Griffith Roberts born 1855 N.K. Merionethshire living in Llandwrog in 1891. Still trying to work it out. Am waiting for a couple of certificates which should help but may not you never know!
