Caernarvon Lookup Request- Robert Jones born C1837

[ceiriog1]

hello again rode44, i've just replied to you from another post.

i have yet to put my finger on the famous Moria Lester although the 1841 census does have a record of Maria Jones (not from Wales) married to Owen.

I have all of Robert Jones's master mariner records and have transcribed some of his voyages.  I also have his birth & marriage certificate and plenty of other records to do with our family.  You may already have these, but if not you could pass me your email address and i'll forward what I have to you (empty your inbox as it's a huge amount!!)

I have a little bit on a Robert Lester of 3 Thomas Street who joined the South Wales Borderers at outbreak of WW1. After fighting in France (Somme) he went to Salonika where, in 1918 he lost a leg. The hospital ship transferring he was on was sunk in the Med but he was eventually picked up. The hospital he was in in London was then bombed and the man in the next bed to him injured. I particularly liked the final line of the newspaper article
"Although incapacitated Pte Lester is quite cheerfull"

Hard these Cofis eh!

PS. Should imagine that Robert is a descendant of Moria?
