From census information we see that also living with Jane and her family at the Bear Inn were Margarett Howells, 55, of independent means, Hector Jenkins, a joiner, who may have been her brother, Hannah Evans a 25 year old female servant and Ambrose Taroni a 40 year old immigrant from Turin who helped her with the post.

1846 On 4th January 1846 John Eynon, a widower, and Master Mariner of Llanelli, who was born in Oxwich, married widow Jane Chalinder (born in Kidwelly), Postmistress at Thomas Street. George Eynon, John’s father was also a Master Mariner and John Jenkins, Jane’s father was a farmer from Kidwelly.

Following their marriage Jane and her two sons, Edward and John, moved from the Bear Inn, Thomas Street, to live with her new husband and his daughter Mary in Water Street.

1851 The census shows that Elizabeth Thomas aged 59 from Kidwelly was innkeeper of the Thomas Arms. It may well be that Elizabeth was related to Jane as they had both been born in Kidwelly.

Ambrose Taroni (a Letter Carrier), who had been living at the Bear Inn in 1841 was by 1851 living in John Street with his wife Mary and their six children.

The census also shows that in 1851 John Eynon, 35, described as Post Master, his wife Jane and his family were living in Water Street which was the new location of the Falcon Inn and Posting House. Their children were William Edward Chalinder aged 16, John Jenkins Chalinder, 11 and Mary Eynon 7. Edward and John had been born in Llanelly but Mary had been born in Porteynon.

Also living in Water Street with the family was Sarah Williams, a 25 year old servant from Carmarthen, Mary Marker, a 23 year old servant from Newcastle Emlyn and Lewis Lewis, an unmarried ostler from Llanarthney. Lewis Lewis would have been employed to look after the post horses that arrived there daily. At that time mail and passengers were carried by horse-drawn coaches and the Falcon was a coaching house also known as a posting house. The original Falcon Inn in Thomas Street had been converted into a Haberdashery in 1841.

1858 Sometime before February 1858 John and Jane Eynon had moved to the Thomas Arms and as proprietors provided the supper when a ball, celebrating the opening of the Athenaeum was held at the new building.

1859 Tragedy struck the family in March 1859 when John’s only daughter Mary died at the age of 15.

1861 By this time Jane’s eldest son Edward, now 26, had married and was living at the Thomas Arms with his wife Elizabeth aged 24.

1862 John and Jane Eynon's daughter Elizabeth Jane was born.

1870 Edward’s wife died and their daughter Elizabeth also died in 1870 at the age of nine.

1871 Jane’s son John Jenkins Chalinder, aged 31 (from her first marriage) was living at the Post Office which was in Vaughan Street, with his wife Elizabeth aged 32, their son Henry aged six months and his sister-in-law Mary Oakley. His wife Elizabeth and her sister were both born in Australia. It was this John Jenkins Chalinder who was responsible for Chalinder’s Llanelly Directory published in 1872. He was also Assistant Postmaster and was a Licensed Passenger Agent actively advertising for local people to emigrate to America. John Jenkins Chalinder also operated a Picture and Print Dealership from the Post Office which had moved to Llanelly House.

He was involved in Insurance as agent for Alliance, Life & Fire, Manchester Fire, Norfolk Farmers Cattle Insurance, Norwich & London Accidental, Norwich & London Plate Glass, Provident Clerks’ Guarantee – all of which he operated from Vaughan Street.

John Eynon, was also a Master Mariner who had for many years, been master of the barque Suir of Cork, which traded with Quebec. It was probably through his association with shipping that his stepson (John Jenkins Chalinder) became involved in his emigration business with America.

1874, after many years as Post Master, John Eynon retired and continued to manage his hotel, The Thomas Arms, with his wife Jane. He is said to have led a quiet unobtrusive life following his superannuated retirement.

1879 On 31st July 1879 John Eynon was taken ill during the Petty Sessions at the Town Hall in Hall Street and died later at his home, the Thomas Arms Hotel in Thomas Street. He was 66 years old and had been Post Master from 1846 until 1874. He had been an active Chairman of the Carmarthenshire Licensed Victuallers Association and was a Freemason. Many of the local Freemasons attended his funeral and burial at Holy Trinity Church, Felinfoel, where his only daughter Mary Eynon was also buried.

1881 The census of 1881 reveals that Jane Eynon (now aged 73 and widow of the Post Master), was still managing the Thomas Arms Hotel. She lived in the hotel with her staff, a barmaid, chambermaid, cook, boots, servant, ostler and a visitor who was a drapery commercial traveller. Her son John Jenkins Chalinder was no longer associated with the Post Office and lived at Mount Pleasant with his family. He was now fully occupied with his occupation as an emigration agent and must have been considering his future in Llanelly. Some time after his step-father’s death he moved to Bristol and his mother Jane moved to Five Roads.

1894 In December 1894 the Llanelly Mercury announced the death of Mrs Jane Eynon aged 88 who had been living at the Iron House in Five Roads. The Revd J. W. Roberts officiated at her funeral and among the mourners was John Jenkins Chalinder of Bristol, the only surviving member of the family.
