Margaret Jones (writer)

Margaret Jones (March 1842 – October 18, 1902) was a 19th-century Welsh travel writer whose work was published under the pseudonym Y Gymraes o Ganaan.

It was in this role that she began traveling the world, spending two years in Paris and four in Jerusalem with the family as they performed missionary work in the Jewish communities there.

[2][3] Jones became well known in Wales for writing accounts of her international travels, notably in Palestine and Morocco.

"[1][4] In 1869, she published Llythyrau Cymraes o Wlad Canaan, a collection of letters home from her travels in Palestine.

[1] After further travels in the United States, Jones eventually settled in Australia, where she married a wealthy farmer named James Josey, who had been exiled there from England.
