Yes, thanks, Gadget, I did know about the entry of triplets that has been written in the 1885 baptism records for those three siblings. I’ve been to the Old Gaol, Ruthin, many times going through records, as well as looking online. Obviously, they weren’t triplets, but where they lived was so remote, apparently it was common for some people to do ‘job lots’ when baptising their children, or so I was told by a local historian.
I also know about the two properties called Tyddyn Ucha. I may have mentioned in my first post that it would be either Llangernyw or Gwytherin, although someone whose family has been connected to the Gwytherin one, doubts that it was that one, as she knows her family history as well as the house history. Her nephew runs it now. The one at Llangernyw would be the most likely, as it’s also very close to both Pandy Tudur, Llanfair Talhaiarn and Gwytherin.
I’ve been looking at census entries for Jane and her siblings in and around Llandwrog this past week, but as she may well be in service, I can’t be sure, although there are a couple of contenders. Once I have David Jones marriage certificate to Jane Hughes, I can confirm the parents and perhaps find some connection then.
I can’t find either David or wife Catherine Jones after 1871 census, or a death or burial record that I can be sure of.
I’ve not found any wills to date.
Thanks very much, Gadget, for all the time you’ve spent looking at this. I do appreciate it.
