Sir Love Jones-Parry, 1st Baronet

Sir Thomas Duncombe Love Jones-Parry, 1st Baronet (5 January 1832 – 18 December 1891) was a Welsh landowner and Liberal politician.

[3] Jones-Parry rose to prominence in politics when he won the Caernarvonshire seat in the 1868 election, defeating the Tory candidate, George Douglas-Pennant (later Lord Penrhyn).

Towards the end of 1862 Captain Love Jones-Parry, accompanied by Lewis Jones, left for Patagonia to decide whether it was a suitable area for Welsh emigrants.

Following a favourable report from Jones-Parry and Lewis Jones, a group of 162 Welsh emigrants departed for Patagonia in the ship Mimosa in 1865.

Sir Love-Jones-Parry married Lady Elizabeth, who built in 1857 the gothic Plas Glyn-y-Weddw manor house in Llanbedrog, now the oldest art gallery in Wales.
