I am trying to find information on the ancestry of my gt gt grandfather who was born in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, North Wales in 1806 and was married to Mary 1810. Their son Elias Jones was born in 1836 and married Elizabeth 1837. They had four children; Mary Jones 1864, David Jones 1872, Evan Jones 1868 and Jane Jones 1866 all born in Caernarfon.
