Title: The Jones Family of Tipton
Post by: Ruth J on Thursday 29 May 08 20:17 BST (UK)

Does anyone have this family in their tree? 

I have a Joseph Henry Jones born about 1855/56.  His father is John Jones who was a Labourer.  In 1879 Joseph Henry married Elizabeth Howell.  I wouild be grateful if anyone can help me with the name of Josephs Mother.

Hmmm. There doesn't seem to be a birth registration for Joseph Henry Jones in Dudley registration district in the right time frame. I'm afraid the one above was probably registered as plain Joseph ...

Was he definitely from Tipton? There's one birth registration for a Joseph Henry Jones
in Sep 1855 West Bromwich 6b 593

Thanks Tati, I think that might be the one registered in West Bromwich
