Her name is shown on the birth certificate of her youngest daughter Florence. I have recently managed to get in contact with one of Florence's sons who has her birth certificate. I too have questioned the spelling of the name but he has today confirmed by email that it definitely reads Prhyna Jones, as it is very clearly written. |

Cannot find anything on the 1881 Census. |

I think you'd need to get her marriage cert which will confirm her maiden name and give her father's name, so you can find her on a census. Plus, the birth cert of either child would confirm her first name and maiden name. nell |

Have now been to several Welsh names sites on the internet and there's nothing remotely like this name. nell |

Susan I don't recognise the name Prhyna. Have you got it in more than one place - how do you know the spelling is correct? Do you know how it is pronounced? nell |

I am trying to find information on my great grandmother, her married name was Prhyna JONES and possibly her name was JONES before marriage. I thought with such an unusual christian name she would be easy to find but cannot find any information about her. Has anyone heard of such an unusual christian name? I do not know anything about her but do know she married a Robert Jones born circa 1867 (UPDATE circa 1859) and their first child Maud Harriet Halsall Jones was born in 1895 in Cardiff and second child Florence Jones was born in West Derby in 1899. I think both children went into a children's home following their father's death (again I don't have the details) and do not know what happened to their mother. Can anyone offer any help regarding her first name? I've been told that the spelling is correct. Any information about the family would be an extra bonus. Thanks Sue |
