Still looking for William Jones born about 1811.
« on: Saturday 13 May 23 16:53 BST (UK) »
I am still searching for my realative William Jones, born about 1811 in the Llanrwst or Dolwyddelan area. Has anyone come across such a fellow in their family tree or elsewhere. Any information or hints would be appreciated.

As you say that that's not him, have you got further information about him that  made you come to this decision?

William Jones, is not the most unusual name in Wales and anything else  might help us to help you.

I see that you have previously put up other threads about the family:

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=861688.0

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=863071.0   

In thisone you say:

Do you know if William Jones Llan Dolwyddelan (1781 - 1810), son of John Jones Llan Dolwyddelan (1750 - 1829) and Gwen Owen (1747 - 1796), and his wife Mari/Mary Thomas (1778 - 1843) had a son called William Jones born 1810/1811?

Is this still relevant?

I see that you had some help on the first thread.  I'll read through and see if there are hints  that can be followed up.

I see that you are trying to connect William Jones (1810/11) to John Jones, Talysarn

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01sar/

Would the link be through JJ's  mother Ellen or his father John?

Is this the paper that you referred to in the other post:

https://www.liverpool-welsh.co.uk/archive/The%20Welsh%20Builders.pdf

I don't see a ref to your ancestor but my eyes are playing up today so I may have missed it. I did do a Find though and nothing came up.

add - I see that it is a discussion of the The Welsh Builder on Merseyside : Annals and Lives

Thank you very much for all of this. We do have more information, but you have given us something more to think about and we would like to review all of this further before getting back to you.
Thank you again for your interest.

PS Yes, the extract is from the book, not the newspaper article.
