My Great Grand parents William Jones born in Abergele and Ellen Jones (maiden name) born in Llanelian  were married about 1874 as this is when their first child Margaret Ellen Jones was born in Pensarn, Abergele. I am assuming they were married but maybe this is wrong. 

I am really trying to find the parents of my Great Grandfather William as I have already traced the descendants of Ellen. There are a number of William Jones married around this time with the designation of St Asaph as I have already purchased 2 marriage certificates but they are either the wrong age or location. The obvious location for the marriage would be St Elian church at Llanelian but cannot locate any records for this church. Another possibility would be St Paul's Wesleyan Chapel Abergele as I know my Grandmother was married here in 1912.

I was brought up in Abergele but nowadays i am retired in Cyprus so there has been no chance to do any local research at a record office. Would appreciate any lead on this but in my view, the common names make this research very difficult.

Ellen's father was John D Jones born 1821 at Erw Goch Llansantffraid Glan Conway Denbighshire. this location is close to Llanelian. Reasonably confident of this link as I have had a confirmation of a DNA cousin through this line. William Jones in the census's with his family is shown as a Taylor which agrees with our Family knowledge. John D Jones (1821-1896) was married to Eliazabeth Griffiths (1829-1901). Hope this helps??
