The Pryce-Jones Family Archive
A collaborative record of a Welsh family — its name, its branches, and the people who carried it from Powys to the world.
A name rooted in Wales
The surname Pryce-Jones brings together two of the most characteristic patronymic names of Wales. "Pryce" descends from the Welsh "ap Rhys" — "son of Rhys" — while "Jones" derives from "John". Joined with a hyphen in the British double-barrelled tradition, the name marks a single family thread we are gathering here.
Pryce Pryce-Jones and the Royal Welsh Warehouse
Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones (1834–1920), born in Llanllwchaiarn near Newtown, Powys, founded the Royal Welsh Warehouse in 1861 — widely regarded as the first mail-order business in the world. He was knighted in 1887.
