Mabel Bagshawe thanks for taking an interest, I am finding the coincidence rather odd.
The inquest report that the archives staff in Caernarvon found for me, agreed in every particular with the story my grandmother had told me. Her maternal grandmother died after her clothes caught fire January 1910.
If my theory is correct Robert Roberts would have been the husband of her paternal grandmother.

Thank you very much. The fact that the stone had been put up by son M Jones lends more support to my theory that Ellen Roberts was the Ellen Jones, Ty Newydd, Penmorfa who was recorded as the mother on the birth certificates of Ann, William and Morris Jones.No mention of the father on any of them
Morris was witness at William's marriage to Jane Lloyd in 1881 and went to California to grow
oranges in 1893.
On 1861 census Ann and William are at Ty Newydd but with the surname Morris!!!
On the marriage certificate William uses the surname Griffith and states that father was William Griffith (deceased).
I did not intend to write an essay, but I did want to ask you if you know anything of Ty Newydd, Penmorfa. I had been told that it was a pub.
Diolch yn fawr i'r ddau ohonoch.
