Jane JONES 20 Prenteg Penmorfa
NO fatherwitnesses
John GRIFFITH & Ellen JONESHad an explanation given to me for the two surnames the family were
still using the patronymic naming system, which is very late. Some families seem to have been extremely confused about which name to use and you do come across instances, like in your family, of two different names being used. The registers here do note that the surname is WILLIAMS.
