There is something in The National Library of Wales as well. The link is here:

I was curious to see who the children were with Elizabeth Jones in the 1841 census. There were John Jones, age 9, Owen Jones, age 5 and Harriet Jones age 3. These were her grandchildren by her son Robert Jones, born 1808. Their baptisms were in St Hilary, Llanrhos and St Tudno and as follows:
John Jones, 16 May 1833, baptised St Hilary, Llanrhos.
Owen Jones, 11 January 1836, baptised St Tudno.
Harriet Jones, 9 September 1838, baptised St Tudno.
The parish registers for the baptisms of Owen and Harriet Jones show Robert Jones as of Pwllygwichiad and a Farmer.
Robert Jones was married to Elizabeth and the marriage appears to have been on 13 November 1831, St Tudno, Robert Jones, bachelor, to Elizabeth Owens, spinster. Witnesses were: Joseph Lawes, Margaret Lawes and Robert Roberts.
It appears Elizabeth Jones was close to her son, Robert. This is borne out by the fact she is living with him and his family in the 1851 census. They are living in Calcot, Holywell, Flintshire. Robert is a Farmer of 100 acres employing 3 labourers. John, Owen and Harriet are there as well as 3 other children of the couple. There is also Elizabeth Jones, widow, age 82, born Llanberis, shown as "Mother of H?", which would be Head, ie Robert Jones. They have 3 employees, one of whom is Jane Owens, age 16, House Servant, born Llanberis.
The Llanberis connection could be significant as Elizabeth Owens, Robert's wife is shown as born Llanberis too. Could Jane be a relative of his wife?
I have been unable to locate a burial for Elizabeth Jones, do you know when and where she was buried?
It wasn't possible to trace Robert Jones there in the 1861 census but he is in Bagillt, Holywell in the 1871.
I searched for Richard Jones b1817 and the only one that might have been him (with wife Elizabeth) was in Liverpool. It is difficult to say for certain if it is the right person.
It is the same for John Jones b1806, I found a census entry for a John Jones in Liverpool, but it isn't possible to say for certain if it is the same man. I will post details again to you can see for yourselves.
I am wary of duplicating searches that have already been done. It seems the information that is required is as follows:
Peter Jones bc1765 - baptism, father's details, further children and marriage to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, wife of Peter Jones, baptism and death/burial.
Richard Jones b1817 - marriage to Elizabeth, children, census entries after 1851 and death.
Edward Jones b1840 - baptism and 1861 census entry.
There may be clues to the whereabouts of Richard Jones by getting the details of his children's marriages. The certificates should show if he is alive anyway.
I am not familiar with the history of Pwllygwichiad, or the social standing of the Jones family from there. Can someone enlighten me please? Were they are high social standing in the area?
The National Library of Wales has entries for a Will for Peter Jones dated 1835, plus a Bond dated 1834. It isn't possible to say if it is the same person.
Helig.
