Find Ancestors

Trying to find any information on John James Bonner born 1880 in Llanfihangel y Creuddyn, Cardiganshie, Wales. After 1901 I cannot find any UK trace of him. Found a gravestone recently at Trisant Chapel, Llanfihangel y Creuddyn which states that John James Bonner died in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, USA in 1953.

Can anybody assist with some USA information?

thanks
