I am so grateful for your reply!  I don't know I'll ever find them all, but now I know I've got a bunch of relatives yet to locate...oh my!  another 10 children of Robert Thomas.   How else would I ever know that?  I can't tell you how precious that is to me.  I thank you so very much,

I have a .jpg copy from a book called "Hanes Cymry Minnesota" in which half the book is written in the Welsh language - is that what it's called? 
I'm going to try to attach it here.  Perhaps someone who can read this can shed more light on this family. 

also, How can I get access to North Wales Gazette 10 August 1820 and 21 March 1821
I'd just love to see if the Thomas names show up.

OH MY  WHAT A WONDERFUL THING TO HAVE....A REPORT OF THIS ACCIDENT AT SEA
Thank you, thank you.  It's a story that has been handed down for all these years in our family of how the first grandchild of this event [now a grandmother herself] would show on a world globe where this event occurred and re-tell the story.  Now 4 generations later the story had almost been lost.  What a gift you have given.

WOW.  Thanks, I think....if I understand correctly
Robert Thomas of Bodowyr Mill, Llanidan died on 5 August 1820...than this is the father and that means his wife Margaret [unknown maiden name] also died that day, as they died in a shipwreck.

"The Llanidan parish register records the marriage on 31 August 1793 of Robert Thomas of Llanidan to Eleanor Prichard of Newborough, Anglesey" this also is the father of John Thomas...but you are saying his wife's name is Elinor and NOT Margaret?

THUS  Robert and Eleanor [Pritchard] Thomas who  married 1793 and both died in a shipwreck in 1820 had a son, Robert Thomas who married Jane Edwards on 25 June 1828
and my ancestor
John Thomas b. 1798 who married Eleanor [Pritchard] Thomas in 1828

can this be right?  I've never been so confused in my life.  I just want to be sure of what I'm seeing.

Anglesey / Thomas & Pritchard family early 1800's

I’m looking for the family of John R Thomas, born 27 Mar 1798 Melin Bodowyr, Llanidan, Anglesey [Ynys Mon] Wales.  From his death certificate, his parents were Robert and Margaret Thomas.

John R. Thomas married Eleanor Pritchard 14 May 1828 at Llanddaniel Fab, Anglesey, Wales. 

Eleanor Pritchard was born about 1809 in Gaerwen, Anglesey, Wales.  From her death certificate, her parents were Mercil/Maynard [hard to read] and Margaret PRITCHARD.
from book Hanes Cymry Minnesota
“....Both of John R Thomas's parents were drowned when he was 21 years old. In 1831 he removed to Liverpool, where he stayed twelve years, and where in 1837 he joined the C.M. church. He was a machinist by trade, and in 1843, removed to Crew  England to work in the shops of the London and N.W. Ry. Co.

John R Thomas, his wife and six children arrive in New York on the ship the Aberdeen in 1850.
Their six children were born in Liverpool, Lancashire, England.

If the book is correct, I’m anticipating that there must be a death about 1819 of both Robert and Margaret Thomas when they were in the shipwreck.  It is reported through the family that grandmother Thomas said they died crossing from Anglesey to Liverpool.

It is also rumored in the family that the children were told that the family “lived in a castle” and that the family [I’m guessing the Pritchard side] are related to David Lloyd George….but of course no proof has been given.

Any help will be appreciated.
