John born c1852 and his wife born c1845. He was a seaman and died in Cardiff in 1923. She died in 1915 and is buried in LLanfihangel Ystrad. She lived in Cribin School in 1891. I am trying to find any children but not certain they had any although I think there is a David T Jones who lived in California in 1950s.. I believe her maiden name was Davies and she had a brother called John.

Do you know when they married, and where Cribin School is?
LLanfihangel Ystrad is some distance from Cardiff, do your know where they spent most of their life?
Thanks

I assumed their surname was Jones because of the reference to a possible son, David T Jones.
Therefore John Jones married Jane Davies. And they came from near Lampeter. Possibly difficult to find if they both went to sea.

It's Jones.
Cribin or Cribyn is somewhere near Aberaeron and Lampeter, Cardiganshire. I don't know when they married or much about them except they took in my grandmother and her sister when they were orphaned. Only found that out by finding them on 1891 census. Can see from Patricia that they had no children which I am not surprised about. Thanks
