Sir Ellis Jones Ellis-Griffith (1860-1926) was a barrister and an MP. He was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, but grew up in Brynsiencyn, Anglesey. After attending school in Brynsiencyn and Holt, he went to University College Aberystwyth, and graduated in law from Downing College Cambridge in 1883. In 1887, he was called to the Bar and was recorder of Birkenhead, 1907-1912. He married Mary Owen in 1892. Entering politics, he was elected Liberal MP for Anglesey in 1895. In 1912, he became chairman of the Welsh Parliamentary Party and was parliamentary secretary to the Home Office, 1912-1915.
