JONES (Wales>Canada) - Part I

Meaning/Pronunciation: Pronunciation: Joenz. Like Hansen, this name means “Son of John.”

Origin: Welsh

Variations: This is the only Welsh form I’m aware of, but it is a Patrynomic name like Hansen, which means once you get past a certain generation, the name changes every generation.

Relation to me: My mother’s mother’s maiden name.

Ancestors:
i: Jones, Merle, 1915, Vancouver, BC, Canada; George Bordewick, 2 sons, 2 daughters

ii: Jones, Daniel, 1882-1964, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, UK; Eliza Howells, 3 daughters, 1 son

iii: Jones, Benjamin, 1865-1915, Caio, Wales, UK; Hannah Griffiths, 5 sons, 2 daughters

Looking for:
Any information on Benjamin and Hannah’s children or parents. As you can see, this branch doesn’t go out far, so any information would be quite helpful.


I can't help but giggle that my first two surnames (my grandfathers' surnames) are pretty uncommon, while my second two (my grandmothers') are two of the most common surnames in the world... :P
