Title: Thomas Griffith Jones, Pen Pelyn, Nebo, Dyffryn Nantlle, Caernarvonshire
Post by: ejones4765 on Friday 08 June 18 14:23 BST (UK)
Hello,

I am now researching my grandfather's brother, Thomas Griffith Jones (known to my Dad's family as Twm Llefrith). Ah was born on 6 September 1911 according to the 1939 census.

He was married to a lady named Gwen. They lived at Ty'n Twll, Waunfawr, Caernarfon and have two daughters,
If anybody has any information I would be grateful.

Dewi

There is a possible marriage according to freebmd in 1946 to Gwennie Roberts.  As any children of this marriage are likely to still be alive you should remove their names from your post

Freebmd gives the details for ordering the certificate from the GRO.  I doubt that you will find details of a 1946 marriage online, you may have to purchase the certificate

Hi,

Do you have access to Ancestry?

There is a death of a Thomas Griffith Jones in Dec 1978 - age 67 at Bangor District Vol 25 Page 0089 - birth date 6 Sept 1911.

There is also a will showing in 1980 for Thomas Griffith Jones  - Administration - Llandaff for Thomas Griffith Jones who died 5 Dec 1978 - of 12 Bro Waen, Waunfawr, Gwynedd.

Unsure this is the right one but I can also see a death of a Gwen Jones (birth date 14 May 1913) at Bangor District  - Sept 1995 Registration Number 63B District and Sub District 8411B - age 82 - could this possibly be Thomas's wife?

There is also a private tree showing there for Thomas - if you are an Ancestry member you could contact the tree owner for more information.

Hope this helps in your search

Hi,

Yes I am also on Ancestry but the access you are allowed to see records depends on the nature of your membership - for example I cannot generally access overseas records such as USA/Canad/Australia etc.

I have just added the information you gave me, but I cannot find the tree you mention. It does not come up in Thomas's hints.

Hi,

It worked for me when I entered Thomas Griffith Jones 1911 Caernarvonshire in the "Search" box and then clicked on "Family Trees"

The first entry says Thomas Griffith Jones 1911 Llanllyfni, Caernarvonshire.

It should also work OK for you.
