Dec 1909 Pontypridd 11a 959

David Jones married either Mary Elizabeth Barry or Jane Hughes.

Without knowing when either David or Jane were born it is impossible to pick them out of all the David and Jane Jones in the Pontypridd area in 1911 - just too many

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Emeltee.

That's a start. I'll see what I can find now.

David was a farmer but that may not help.

About 80% of those in Rhondda valley were coal miners.

Still checking 1911 census.

David was listed as a farmer in 1942 marriage. Wife was listed as Ellen deceased. But Jane here.

JONES Moelwyn Hughes Death notice 09FEB1976 Death late of Sefton SMH 14FEB1976

That is on the SMH Archive site 1954 - 1995 but I can't read the images. Alternative is to get it on film at State Library.

Yep, also Jane listed as Ellen when Moelwyn married [on the cert]

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes.

Catherine Ellen Jones Daughter Female 0 Cilfynydd, Glamorganshire

Is the closest yet to being the right family.

I can't find a tree. I hope the death notice has something to help.

Looks like the correct family, nothing else to cross-check with yet, nothing else on Catherine yet either.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

I'm now looking for Catherine in NSW.

No marriage in NSW 1930 - 1950 for a Catherine E or Catherine Ellen. Closest is Catherine Eileeen.

Just been checking for David WW1, nothing leaping out?

Oh! Would this suggest that Moelwyn and/or family were in NZ first?
