Hello
Ok have tracked him through his military records assume this is the correct man?
Nathaniel Jones joined army 21st April 1892 Southwark London number 2467 Royal fusiliers
Occupation given milkman living 34 Collingswood street age given 18 and 8mths born Tregaron Cardiganshire.
1891 census
 Poss. match
New north road Hoxton town parish of Shoreditch
William Thomas Head aged 18yrs b.1873 Blaenpenol Cardiganshire dairyman
Mary Ellis aged 23yrs llangwyryfon Cardiganshire servant
Nathaniel Jones male aged 15years b Caron Cardiganshire milkman
 The above Nathaniel Jones only matches occupation not age has he states he is 18yrs and 8months
On his application to join army?
I checked the census and I found your baptism records of Nathaniel it states baptised October 27th 1875 so that does match age for the milkman in 1891.
 You may already know all this but I am working blind!

I didn't have the census info. So thanks for that.
Yes it appears he lied on his army attestation. He would have been 16 years and 8 months when he joined up.

I have literally ordered that marriage certificate this morning so I could confirm if was them or not. There is another marriage two years earlier between a Mary & Evan Jones.
Given the detail you have posted, it is them as the father's name track (in that their children or grand children bore their names) and Forest matches!

Yeah, so glad I followed my gut on that one

Thanks for the help, sometimes all it takes is a fresh pair of eyes to see detail otherwise overlooked!

There's a burial at Tregaron of an Evan Jones, abode Fforest, on 16 Dec 1880, aged 45

Great thanks! That fits with the dates I estimated his death to around.
