Excerpt from Introduction to the life and work of Ann Griffiths by E. Wyn James
https://anngriffiths.cardiff.ac.uk/introduction.html
" The case of a farm-worker called John Owen, who lived near Dolwar Fach, emphasises the connections between Ann's locality and the English areas to the east. Like many others from the vicinity, John Owen would go every year to work on the harvest in Shropshire. He returned one year with a wife, Ann y Sais ('Ann the English') as she was nicknamed by the people of Llanfihangel. It appears that Ann Griffiths attended a school held by 'Ann the English' for a time, and it was there that she learned to read English and to write. Although she never became fluent in English, it is said that Ann Griffiths was able to compose light verse in that language and to write the occasional English letter, although no examples have survived. "
It appears John or Rice Owen married Ann Harley (Ann y Sais) on 4th May 1749, at Monkhopton, Shropshire. In the church register John Owen was described as "a sojourner".
