Robert Jones b 1815 , Denbigh, Printer Compositor
« on: Monday 22 January 18 10:35 GMT (UK) »
Im trying to trace back the line from Robert Jones b 1815, Denbigh, baptised July 1815. He married Sarah Griffith in 1838 in Wrexham (need to order his marriage certificate).

Sons: David, John, Henry, James (eldest son Robert)


He was a printer compositor as were his son, grandson..

Loved to know where he learnt his trade...was his father also a printer compositor? which papers /publishers did he work for?

Any information would be of great help.
Thank you

Not sure but I think you might have the wrong marriage date/place, would this seem right to you?

11 Oct 1939, Denbigh
Robert Jones, full age, bach, printer, res- Denbigh, father- David Jones, hosier
to Sarah Griffiths, full age, spin, no occ, res- Denbigh, father- Robert Griffiths, labourer

After much looking, I think it's Beacons Hill:

Thank you so much.

I must have somehow got wrong date/place for marriage.

His brother was also David so this makes sense...and some of the girls in family line named Elinor.

Love to find a trade directory for his father.

I can't find  David and Elinor on the 1841 or a definite marriage. There are some marriages in neighbouring parishes but no info on them about occupations. Will try to find burial records.

Maybe you could check Welsh Newspapers  as well :  http://newspapers.library.wales/

Found David's burial:

Denbigh - July 17 1829, David Jones, hosier, Beacon's Hill, aged 62.

So born circa 1767

Thank you again.

I initially thought David may have come from England..? Might be red herring though.

Why do you think he was from England? David Jones and a hosier fits well with the area.

I have to go to Dentist's now but will look for more info when I get back  :)
