WELSH PREACHERS - Puleston Jones & Prof Henry Jones

[Liza]

My Welsh great grandmother from Amlwch in Anglesey moved north to Glasgow in 1870. In her later years she wrote fondly of missing a Welsh chapel but remembered attending a Welsh religious service in Renfield St Church Glasgow in 1876 where she first saw "the famous blind preacher, Puleston Jones". Her memories read.." Well I remember him walking in with a bible under his arm and a smile on his face, to preach to us in Welsh". She described Puleston as then being a student at Glasgow University and like Prof Henry Jones, often called on them at home.
Can anyone shed any light??

The famous blind preacher was my great uncle, the Rev Dr John Puleston Jones MA DD (1862-1925), eldest son of Evan Jones of Bala and his wife Mary Ann Puleston of Llanfair DC.
