Robert Jones was born on 22 March 1873 in Gadlys, Pwllheli, Carnavonshire. In 1891
he was still at Gadlys with his mother and two of his siblings. He was working as
a labourer; however, by 1897 when he got married he was living at Quay, Pwllheli
and working as a plasterer. On 17 April 1897, Robert married
Eliza Thomas, from Nevin,
in the Register Office in Pwllheli. After their marriage, they lived at 1 Back Carnarvon
Road, Pwllheli. Robert and Eliza had five children. Their second eldest, Catherine
Jones, was born on 17 April 1899 in Well Street, Nevin, Carnavonshire - the same
place as her mother - Eliza. On her birth certificate, Robert was shown as a slater
and plasterer, and in the 1901 census he was shown as a plasterer.
The family later moved south to Abercynon, Glamorgan. The date they
moved is not know but is believed that Catherine Jones had completed her schooling
in Pwllheli.
In Abercynon they live at 46 Aberdare Road. Robert worked as a Sumper in the Abercynon
Colliery. On 30 December 1943, Robert Jones died aged 70, at the General Hospital,
Mountain Ash.
