Ah - I saw a marriage for a Robert marrying a Margaret Roberts  but discounted as you seemed to be fairly sure  that Margaret  was a Jones.  Will go and look for it again.

The RD in that area are complex - related to the Poor Law Unions, of course. Bala , Corwen, Ruthin, Wrexham and Oswestry  for the various parishes in that broad area. They also changed. E.g. my parents were born and married in the same parish as my sister and I but their's were registered in one RD and ours in another!

Thanks Gadget,

Yes, I broke my own rule by listening to information passed on by another family member without double-checking it against the available records. This is why I don't post family trees on Ancestry etc and I never take for granted anything I see posted there unless there are records that verify the provenance !

Anyway, even though Robert Jnr was apparently born in Q1 1854, I think that marriage record is the most likely one and it's worth applying for the certificate which will hopefully confirm the residences of both parties.

Thanks again, Gordon.

There's also a possible in 1851 in Bala - but not not sure - marriage finder is not as confident - a couple of Anns listed as well!

This is all very odd as I'm not locating them on the North Wales BMD site. I know that there were problems with some of the registrars ' permissions when the info was collected but I thought that the Ruthin area problems were with the Churches  :-\

I'll try treble checking.

If you put Robert Jones alone in the NorthWalesBMD site,Margaret Roberts appears as an option with another pair,but if you enter any element of her name as well,nothing appears!

I'm sure it wasn't like that in the olden days, Roger. It was confusing as 3 other sites were giving them  ::)

Gordon - when you order the certs, specify the spouse to be Margaret Roberts.

All five baptismal records of the children baptised Llanelidan, 1854-1862, parents Robert and Margaret Jones, show "Abode - Brynhyfryd" and father's occupation "Labourer
