Owen Wynne Jones was born at a house called Ty'n-y-ffrwd, in the village of Rhostryfan, near Caernarfon. At the age of ten, he was sent to work in the quarry, but later returned to full-time education and went on to train as a teacher. In 1855 he began teaching at Llanfachreth in Merionethshire. He began to assist Eben Fardd in arranging local eisteddfodau. In 1860 he was ordained as an Anglican clergyman and worked as a curate in several parishes.
