The two threads need to be merged.
I believe the Charles Jones and Sarah are listed in Eric Trudgill’s book.
His parents were Edward Jones and Alice Evans.
Edward Jones was the son of Evan and Charlotte
Alice Evans was the daughter of Daniel and Lydia Evans.
Of the children listed by Eric; Sarah 1882, Richard 1884, Jane 1886, John 1890, Sarah 1893, Edward 1894, William 1896, only the final child Lydia, has mmn Hobson, which suggests it was a second marriage for Sarah and the merging of two families.

With such common names, it is difficult to know for sure, but looking for the other children, mmn Davies appeared most.
Of the 1891 and 1901 census records offered by Wilcoxon, I can see the link and that some match the names offered by Eric, but I cannot find birth registrations. I looked for each child as Hopson/Hobson and Jones. Either they were not registered, or registered in a very different area. Eric offers a baptism each for Sarah and Edward, but I cannot find a registration anywhere near. From the 1901 census, there is a registration for Richard Jones born Penygroes Carmarthenshire c. 1895, I found this which is 2 years away:
Richard Hopson . mmn Davies . Apr-Jun 1887 . Llandilofawr . Volume 11a . Page 936
Again, from the 1901 census, I think Richard Edwards was the son of Rebecca Boswell and Evan Edwards. He would be a cousin of William Boswell.
Marriage Banns: Richard Edwards . Susan Jones . 30 July 1899 . Llanfihangel-yng-ngwynfa, Montgomeryshire
Susannah Edwards who was a Jones on the census, could be this registration as location matches census and Eric’s list:
Susannah Hopson . mmn Davies . Oct-Dec 1883 . Rhayader . Volume 11b . Page 124
Between the census records and Eric’s list, the birth years can change considerably.
There is also a link to William and Annie Boswell nee. Williams, who were witnesses at the marriage.
William Boswell (b.1865) is also listed in the same book.
His parents were Israel (William) Boswell (b.1840) and Elinor Williams.
Israel’s parents were Richard Boswell and Catherine Evans
Catherine Evans was the daughter of Daniel and Lydia Evans.
Israel also had a daughter called Catherine Ann(e) Boswell (b.3 Jul 1872)
She married Daniel Evans, the son of Edwin Evans and Subie Lee
Both Daniel Evans and William Boswell were showmen at fairs, or amusement caterers. Edwin was a basket-maker. There are plenty of articles for each of them, mainly court appearances.
Edward Evans died 1997 with date of birth 25 May 1923.
On the GRO for that quarter, there are only four births registered in Wales, but none without a second or third name. The birth could have been registered later, when this registration is a strong contender:
Edward Evans . mmn / . Jul-Sep 1923 . Aberayron . Volume 11b . Page 61
The certificate will give his mother’s name, though maybe not the father, as with no mmn he could be illegitimate.
