Hi I am looking for John Jones born 1836 Llanwrst Denbighshire. He was a blacksmith. He married my gg Aunt Sarah nee Davies born 1836. They had a daughter Sarah born 1860 & a son Frederick 1861. Sarah was born in Llangerniew Denbighshire & baby Sarah was born in St Asaph Flintshire & Frederick was born in Abergele Denbighshire.
Somewhere on this side of the family is Emmanuel Jones. He went to live in America. He was a very religious man as I remember as a child he used to send us Religious bookmarks every year. He was also a witness marriage of my g grandparents William & Margaret Davies nee Davies.
Unfortunately in my tree I have Evans, Davies & now Jones.
Regards
Pauline

Hi Pauline, a quick check of the IGI gives you, John Jones B 8/11/1836, Christened 30/11/1836, parents John Jones and Mary Hughes. Christened at the Sion Calvanistic Methodist ? Church, Llanwrst Debnigh. This is an extracted record so should be kosher. Family search is a free site, and if you click on advanced search and then International Genealogical Index, you should be able to go back further! regards Linda

Hi, I was unable to find Emmanuel Jones on the other site you gave me. Can we find who Emmanuel's parents were? From the bookmarks I have found, Emmanuel was my mothers uncle. Did he have a family in America?
Desperately seeking Emmanuel.

My mum would have been 82 this year. I know he was still alive in 1953 as I have a bookmark from him with the date on it. He may well have been in his 80's in 1953.
Thanks
Pauline
