Jones Family 1916 to 1940 - Aberystwyth

[davierj]

I am looking for any information on a Jones family between 1916 and 1940.   The head of the family would have been Elizabeth Jane Jones (1877 Trefeurig) widow of Richard Jones killed 1916 at Mametz.
Children with one exception all born in Talybont.   David William (1900), Richard Trefor (1902), Ceinwen (1905), Thomas Isfryn (1907), John Alwyn (1910) and Elizabeth Ann (1912 Aberystwyth).
At the time of her death, the mother, Elizabeth Jane Jones, was living at 41 Greenfield Street, Aberystwyth and is buried in Aberystwyth Cemetery.
Any further information greatly appreciated.

1911 - 4 James St Saly Gont Cardigan – as transcribed but clearly Talybont.
Richard an Insurance Agent and Elizabeth, both 34, married 12 years 5 children all living.

So they moved to Aberystwyth after 1911 census

Elizabeth J died there 1932 age 54.

Possible marriages in Aberystwyth to 1936, then Cardigan North

David William (1900), = 3
Richard Trefor (1902), = Sarah C Bassett 1931?
Ceinwen (1905), = David G Miles 1940??
Thomas Isfryn (1907), = 2
John Alwyn (1910) = 0 but several elsewhere in County.
Elizabeth Ann (1912) = 5 to 1936

Too many options to be clear on marriages but you can check the above on https://www.freebmd.org.uk
