RN # 18 Middle Temple Admission Register 1500

The earliest date of admission to the Middle Temple was about 1451.  The Register of Admissions begins under the title "Admissions prior to July 7, 1501.  The first JONES admitted in dated 24 November, 1565.  He is listed as "...William Jones, son of John Mirydeth of Bergevennye, Mounth, gent."

The JONES surname is abstracted.

Here is an example of the Welsh taking the surname JONES with father being "Mirydeth" [Meredith].  William would be William ap John "Mirydeth" becoming William Jones vs William Meredith!
