Data

Baptism: 25 Sep 1791; Penrhos, Monmouthshire, Wales
Death: 24 Jan 1879; Caldicot, Monmouthshire, Wales
Burial: Saint Mary's, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, Wales

Notes

Occupation was as a maltster.

Father's Name

John's first son's name is recorded as "Merrick", which is and English form of "Maurice".

Presumably, he was named after John's father who we have here, currently as "Meyric". This matches well with Welsh variations of "Maurice". Known Welsh variations are "Meuric" and "Meurig". Jones is a very English surname, but the family was living in Wales, so it's hard to know what to make of all this, especially considering how free people used to be with their spelling. Anyhow, the main purpose of this note is to make spelling issues clear so that searches for Meyric can be made more effective.
