can anyone, please help me discover anything about my great, grandmother,s family? She was born Catherine Mary Williams in1876 in merioneth, [on the census it says bryn... can't make out the rest. ] all that i know is she married morris Edwards from LLanywchllyn in1900 On the marriage certificate it states that her father was john Lloyd Jones.  that is the only information that i have. any other clue to her family would be great.

Hello,
may I ask if its the 1891 census you have? I think that says Bryneglwys - which is a place so sounds ok.
The family are there in 1881 - father David and mother Mariah so don't know where John Lloyd Jones comes from?
At the moment can't see the family in 1871 so that may be the answer 
No- they are there in 1871 too
There is a possible wedding  - 1863 Corwen David Williams and Maria Hughes. So still no signs of John Lloyd Jones.
regards
heywood

hello again, I've just been looking at the census again and i think it was bryncrug were she was born, i don't suppose it is any help to be honest I've all but given up, but thanks again for your interest. regards jenny

yes i looked again and it looked a bit like that but can't really read it. Had a quick look but couldn't find anything.
I suppose you are hindered somewhat by the names - she could have been illegitimate/ mother could have remarried but Williams and Jones are hard to sort out.

The 1891 and 1881 definitely shows a birthplace of Bryneglwys, Denbighshire. This is village and a parish to the NW of Llantysilio and N of Llanelidan.  Maria b. Llanarmon yn Ial

I've got some early parish records for it because some of my ancetors married there. The RD was Corwen.

Hope this helps a wee bit.

I don't think the 1871-1891 censuses are the correct Catherine.

the 1901 to me looks like b. Bryncoed? rather than crug.  There is a Bryn coed in Merionethshire in the Gazeteer. There's also a Bryncrwn. I'll do a bit more searching

Two other possible birth registrations if it was Merionethshire:
