I know this is a little like looking for a needle in a haystack but here goes! I've already mentioned Louisa Maud Jones on here under a BEBB article in 'one name studies.'
As I mentioned there, my great granddad was Richard Howell Bebb born in Bedwellty, Tredegar, Monmouthshire in 1862. He married my great grandmother Louisa Maud Jones on the 2nd October 1897 at the Salem Welsh Baptist Chapel, Hannah St, Porth, Glamorgan. After which they were living at Under 104 High Street, Treorky, Ystradyfodwg, Glamorgan.
In the 1901 census return Louisa states she was born in Blackwood, Monmouthshire in 1877. I have a copy of their marriage certificate and Louisa's father was listed as a William Jones, also living in Treorchy while his occupation was listed as being a coal trimmer. Louisa's address before marriage to Richard was 18 Cardiff Road, Treorky, Ystradyfodwg, Glamorgan.
Since then I have drawn a blank and I would be interested to hear from anyone else whose family tree interconnects with mine and have researched this Jones family.
Regards,

I have now looked at the 1911 census and in this one Louisa claims she was born in Cardiff, Glamorgan and not Blackwood, Monmouthshire. Louisa stated her age as 35, being born in 1876 and not 1877.

Hi There I am also descended from Joseph Aston & Jane Williams. Their son Joseph born 1857 was my great great grandfather. He married Mary Jane Harrison in Earlestown, Lancs I havent got the tree further back than Samuel which you know about. I was wondering if by any chance you happened to have any photographs of the Astons which I could copy?
Cheers
Paul
