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 and 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 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. 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 Fole 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 havinga go for me . Kind Regards Joe in San Antonio. NB. The son William Jones is unrelated to the Canarvon William Jones Family
