Looking for the parents of Ellen Jones who was born 1864 in Minera, Wrexham. She died in 1918 in Grappenhall. Cheshire. She married Frederick Johnson Hewitt in 1889 in Minera. Her father was Hugh Jones born 1833c and I think he was born in Llarnarmon Denbighshire. I think her father was a slate miner.
Looking for a Jones in Wales is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Hugh's occupation is some sort of miner - could be slate miner but the image is very faint. It could be lead miner. They are living in Minera.

Thanks all you people fior being so helpful. It will take me ages to sort through them.
Why don't they make it compulsory for people to have a second Christian name which would make searching slightly easier.
