Find Ancestors

Hi

I'm looking for any information on the family that lived in Ty Newydd, Morfa Bychan.
I'm also looking for a record of the marriage of Hugh Jones (of Morfa Bychan and possibly Ty Newydd) to Mary Jones; I have been unable to find any record of their marriage. Their eldest child, Betty, was born in 1888.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

Jones in Wales!!! :-D

Is the mother's maiden name actually JONES? (As per the child's birth cert)

You may know where this place is........most of us don't.

Which county, please?

well Morfa Bychan is in Cardiganshire [Ceredigion] so everyone knows

You can search by address on the 1881 census on Ancestry

seems this is a needle in a haystack job - in typical Welsh fashion the same forenames are used over and over again from generation to generation as I know so well from my Williams' here in Wales

Errr. Morfa Bychan is Caernarvonshire, very near to Porth Madoc. Used to go quite often when a kid.

Thanks Andy..............I'd just started wondering, as I found the place on a census in Caernarvonshire

Where have you got your info from? I can't see the family on a census.

I can't see a family on 1891 Wales census to fit the info given

when I googled it came up as Ceredigion!! sorry folks

County boundaries have changed since the 19th century...........probably explains the difference

Betty Jones is remarkably rare. only 4 on 1891 census. Must be registered under a different name.

Andy

just googled again - there is more than one Morfa Bychan in Wales!! Peembrokeshire, Gwynnedd, Ceredigion

Just a thought.....

Looks good, Andy

Thanks Ann....we do need fully accurate info from the poster

Andy

You've found the family that I'm looking for.
Ann Jones aged 82 was the mother of Mary, wife of Hugh.

It is their marriage I can't find any record of. I know that Mary's father was called Evan and that he was from Morfa Bychan, whereas Ann was from Llanengan, Caernarvonshire.

Sorry for any confusion on the location of Morfa Bychan.

Morfa Bychan is located just over 2 miles away from Portmadoc (now Gywnedd)
In its time it has been within the boundaries of Gwynedd, Caernarvonshire (and possibly) Merionethshire
