I don't know whether these snippets help,identifying John Jones of Truan Mawr being previously of Bryn Nantllech.

There is a will of 1905 for John Jones from Truan Mawr,nominating Evan Jones and Edward Jones.
Is this the same Evan in Traian(sic) in Henllan in 1901,given born Llanefydd?

Regards
Roger

Thanks, Good find Evan actually bought Bryn Nantllech in 1903.  But I cannot find the Will or any information on John Jones in 1901 Census.

It's in the Probate Calendar:

Jones, John of Truan Mawr Henllan, Denbighshire. farmer died 10 May 1905. Probate, St Asaph 15 July to Evan Jones, farmer and Edward Jones, builder. Effects £556

PS - any more info from GRO/Rhyl?

Did your Evan marry an Elizabeth Ann Roberts or Jones? There are two marriages in the time frame.

Added - if I've got the correct family, it was Roberts (I checked mmn on BC of child)

The Evan Jones that Roger refers to  in 1901:

Traian, Henllan

RG13/5239/118/29

Yes I had that 1901 Census, Yes M 1896, Did not find that Will, and I still have had NO contact with GRO at Rhyl. Also, Edward is a bit of a concern as I do not have him on the main tree.

It's not the actual Will, it's from the Probate Calendar.

To get a copy of the will, you can search the online probate service site:

Use the info that I gave.

I don't see an Edward as son of John either.  In 1881, John was a widower at  Bryn Nantlech and seems to have the children, except John, with him.  Could Edward be a brother? Also, there's no mention of David and the daughters as beneficiaries. Probate entries usually just mention the executors. I would have expected John and David to have been mentioned as executors/elder sons.  Have you found them in later censuses?

Rhyl and Ruthin Registry offices cannot find the marriage of John Jones and Catherine Jones [with Bezaleel as the her father] and the censuses I have for JJ give him born in Llansannan and Llannefydd with him Widower, married after her death living in Bryn Nantllech. Not being able to trace correctly the children John, David, Catherine , Elizabeth and Mary. I find it very difficult to prove any more. Thanks for the help
