John Evans and Mary Jones_parents of Henry Robert Bennett Jones

[Gadget]

Reading the will is tricky - but it is free 

I've now found mention of :

Late son Hugh and children John, Grace, Mary, Elizabeth, Owen, William and Edward

Also found mention to daughters Anne, Margaret and Emma

Anne got a shilling but may have had a dowry

I've looked up my Griffiths Pedigrees book - had to get the magnifying glass out.

Why didn't I look there at the beginning (OK, it was on a high shelf) 

Anyway~

The Eliases of Plas Y Glyn, etc.

William Elias of Creigau (will proved April 20, 1845) married Grace  (I got back to him )

Children:
Owen  of Liverpool m Jane Lewis
William o.c
Edward o.c
Hugh m Perry Edwards
Margaret ob
Ann ob March 23 1891 m. John Jones of Elm Bank
Emma m John Bulkeley Owen
Elizabeth m William Prytherch of Liverpool

Children of Ann Elias and John Jones
William o.s.p.
Anne m William Morgan - would this be the Ann Morgan in the probate record 
Richard o.s.p.
Edward m. Elizabeth Orrel
Hugh Owen m Hannah Hughes - I assume this was the Hugh Owen Jones,named as executor in John's probate record
Grace m. David Lewis
Robert Henry
Mary Elizabeth m John Bennet Evans


Children of Mary Elizabeth and John Bennet Evans
Helena
Robert Henry - your Robert
John Elias
Annie
Mary
Herbert William

The family appear to be descended from Richard of Derwyn Isa, Clynnog  - his son Elias ap Richard of Gefail Talhenbont, a smith b. 1674 m. Ann

All spellings as in Griffiths! I could scan the page for you, if you're interested.

Thank you! I appreciate all of this, so much information. I missed some? Ok, I will go back and organize and re-look at it all. I started a timeline with info so I can see any holes, an outline. I think I am not as quick as you are.

The original John Jones, a builder, mentioned a while back, with a wife, Elizabeth, must be another person, a red-herring in this. Well, with all the Jonses and Evanses, it is a tough one.

My family had thousands of Richards, Samuels, Edwards, and two female names, Elizabeth and Ann with the same last name (MILES). I nearly went cross-eyed.

I've got 8 separate Jones lines 

Suggest that you press the PRINT icon (top or bottom right) and save so that you can go through everything at your leisure

thanks. think I am coming up on some leisure tonight.

a helpful dude suggested I post this link, it looks pretty fabulous..lots to check out:

http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I183997&tree=Welsh

and to look at the new, ongoing, beta, etc. Welsh project

https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Welsh_Families_Project

which I need to spend some time on (see link in first paragraph to start a search)
a quick search didn't land me any results so I will spend some more time with it. A lot of good resources are being added to this site, rather amazing.

Thanks everyone for help, it would have taken years to get this far on my own.

First links looks uncanily like the info from the Griffiths pedigrees  - just seen it sources it - see footnotes  - check it line by line to my posting  - 'dude' obviously hadn't read what I'd put up 

Second link is also a similar source to Griffiths.

Not sure either will give you anything more than I gave yesterday from my copy 

Will of William Elias (Reply #44) has him dying 23 April 1845 - short link isn't working at the moment but the NatLib sometimes has hiccups

[miles_hagen_bown]

OK going through this page.

Tried to get the Will of William Elias to open, but just getting the spinning disk.

May be my computer/internet connection

anyone else?
