Owen, John c1871 Anglesey

Hi

I have been trying for some time to find more info on my 2nd great grandfather John Owen.
He was born on Anglesey (Llanerchymedd c1871 according to census').

He moved to Ffestiniog to work in the slate quarries and was living in New Street, Blaenau Ffestiniog in 1900 when my great grandfather was born.

He married Mary Elizabeth born c1873 (we believe her surname was Jones, this was from my grandfather who was very close to her as he was brought up by her when his mother died). According to the 1911 census they had been married 18 years.

I am as yet unable to find a marriage reference for them so am unable to find them earlier in their lives as I do not know their parents names and their names are very common in that area at that time to be able to know if I have the right people.

They moved to South Wales late 1900/early 1901 with their children Richard, William, Ann Ellen, John David and Kate Mary.

If anyone is able to help or offer any advice I would be very grateful.

Regards

Kim
