Title: Thomas Hughes Jones
Post by: Napier12 on Sunday 24 May 09 18:07 BST (UK)

Can anyone help me find any information on a Thomas Hughes Jones married to Sarah Jane Morgan. They lived at Upland House, Morriston. I think they got married around 1879

the only way to get the info is to buy the marriage certificate, either from the GRO

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

or from the office in Swansea - the ref I gave you won't mean anything to them, but the marriage took place between 1/10/1879 and 31/12/1879

If you know which church the marriage took place in, somone could check the parish records. If you don't, it's a big task as the marriage may have been in a non-conformist church and there are many to chose from and not all the records are in the archives.
