First I will present some of the background information, sort of painting the picture as it were! then I will pose the question at the end. Joe INFO:-
After the death of William Jones in 1780-1847 The Buarth Y Foel Farm,Llanbadrig, Anglesey was run by his wife Emma Jones 1788-1859 and her eldest Daughter Elizabeth b 1820 and Son in Law Richard Owen. In the 1851 Census Emma is away from the farm visiting a daughter and family. After the death of Emma in 1859 there was a dramatic change ( in my eyes):- The farm which lies adjacent to Buarth Y Foel is called Nant Y Fran and it was occupied by :- William Jones 1801-1864 Thomas Jones 1792-1844 Part Answer this William Jones only appears at Nant Y Fran in the 1851 and 1861Census and he and his family are from Canarvonshire. So unlikely they are recently related to the Cemaes/ Llanbadrig/ Amlwch Branch of the Jones Family! The Thomas Jones is a local Llanbadrig man and his family are shown at Nant Y Fran in the 1841 Census. As his wife Catherine Jones died in 1829 it seems that he took another Wife Elizabeth Jones b 1811 . The second wife and a part of both sets of children are shown in the 1841 Census. Individually they are difficult to locate but if you find Buarth Y Foel, (listed as Buarth) in 1841 they are on the same page. NB[son William Jones b 1823 is not shown as he was not at home at the time of the census] They are listed as Nant. William Jones b1823 We know that this William was the son of Thomas and Catherine from the Official Wedding records and that his parents William & Catherine had lived at Nant Y Fran
The question is I would like to find out if there was a family link between the Buarth Y Foel William Jones 1780-1847, his wife Emma Jones 1788-1858 and the Jones from the adjacent farm Nant Y Fran Thomas Jones 1792-1844, his wife Catherine Jones 1796-1829. The reason I ask is because I am trying to find out if the family farm was kept in the one family when William Jones the son of Thomas and Catherine took over the Buarth Y Foel Farm circa 1860. I know this sounds complicated but I would appreciate you having a go for me . I am a direct decendant. Kind Regards Joe in San Antonio. NB. The son William Jones is unrelated to the Canarvon William Jones Family
