The Line of John Jones and Gwen Davies

First Generation
1.


John Jones (1805-????) m. Gwen Davies (1806-????)

2.
i
Griffith Jones (1821–1879). He was born in Llanrwst. He married Catherine Davies, also of Llanrwst and they had six children. It was Griffith who apprenticed the young David Owen and taught him his printing and bookbinding trade. He was still following his profession in Llanykil in 1871.


ii
Owen Jones (1826–????). He was born in Llanrwst. Nothing further is known.


iii
Ellis Jones (1827–????). He was born in Llanrwst. Nothing further is known.

3.
iv
Jane Jones (1828–1900). As we know, Jane was born in Llanrwst and married David Owen in Bala in 1853. They had three children, to be investigated in due course.


v
Edward Jones (1830-????). Nothing further is known.


vi
John Parry Jones (1836–????). In 1871 and 1881 he was boarding with the Davies family in Denbigh and working as a printer’s compositor.



This late nineteenth-century chapel would seem to stand more or less where 106 High Street, Bala would have stood. Note the old walls, just to the left.

Second Generation (First cousins x1 removed of Hetty Jane Owen)
2.


Griffith Jones (1821–1879) m. Catherine Davies,


i
Elizabeth Ann Jones (1850–????) was born in Bala. In 1881, after the death of her father, she was still living with her mother in Llanykil and working as a milliner. Her mother is listed as a stationer’s widow, which may just conform well enough with being a printer and bookbinder.

4.
ii
Owen Evan Jones (1851–????). Owen was born in Bala, and was another printer’s compositor. He eventually moved to London, where by this point he had relatives. The 1901 census finds him living in Tottenham, still following his trade and married to a Sarah A. Chamberlain of Stoke Newington with whom he had six children.

5.
iii
Griffith Jones (1853–????). He was living in Aston, Birmingham, in 1881, and married to a Susanna from Ruthin. Griffith was working as an ironmonger and they had a son called William. He was then living at 163 Clifton Road. His younger brother, Peter, was living next door to him.


iv
Sarah Catherine Jones (1859–????). Again, nothing definite.


v
Peter Davies Jones (1861–????). He was another printer’s compositor. In 1881, he was working in Aston, Birmingham, and living at 161 Clifton Road as a boarder, next door to his elder brother.


vi
John Jones (1864–????). He appears in the 1881 census, living with his mother, and working as a grocer’s apprentice, after which there is nothing further to report.


This run-down workshop is also a candidate for having been 106 Bala High Street.
The line of David Owen and Jane Jones (3) is excluded for now, and so we move to the:

Third Generation (second cousins of Hetty Jane Owen)
4.


Owen Evan Jones (1851–????). m. Sarah A. Chamberlain


i
Francis E J Jones (1880–????). Francis is not in the 1901 Tottenham census, but is present at 24 Victoria Road, Hornsey in what looks a like a fairly carelessly taken 1891 census report. Since Sarah Chamberlain is recorded as being fifty-nine years old and a full nineteen years older than Owen, a slight dilemma presents itself, since none of the recorded children could have been hers. The 1911 census clarifies the matter. Sarah was ten years younger than Owen Evan, and hence born in about 1861.


ii
Griffith Jones (1882–????) was born in Stoke Newington, and was working as a London barman in 1901.

6.
iii
Gertrude May Jones (1888–1951) was born in Stoke Newington and died in Stroud Green, Middlesex. She married John Stanley White (1886-1950). They had at least one child. In 1911 she was living with her parents and was a national telephone operator.


iv
Donald O Jones (1890–????). He is listed in the 1891 Hornsey census, but not in the 1901 Tottenham census. There is no further information to add.


v
May W Jones (1892–????) was born in Stoke Newington. In 1911, she was living with her parents and working as a waitress.


vi
Owen E Jones (1896-????) was born in Tottenham. He was a watchmaker and repairer in 1911, when he was still living with his parents. There is nothing further to report.
5.


Griffith Jones (1853-????) m. Susanna


i
William Jones (1879-????) was born in Birmingham. That is as much as we know.
Fourth Generation
6.


Gertrude May Jones (1888–1951) m. John Stanley White (1886-1950).


i
John Derek White (1929-2006). He died in Ipswich, and was a third cousin of Hetty Jane Owen’s children.
