The furthest I have got back on my Jones line is a marriage between James Jones and Jane Pugh 1824 in Eardisley.
My lot appear to be from the Welton area of Eardisley.

Kevin & Vic-- I am, also, searching the same family lines.
Kevin, I was in contact with you some years back. My g-g- grandfather is Harry (Henry) Seabourne, brother to William Seabourne, your relative.
I'm also looking for information on the Jones, Prices, and Davies. Although, I do not recognize the name Pugh. Is that linked to the Seaborne line?
Kevin- I'd really like to connect with you. I tried to contact you by email, but the email was returned. It's probably an old address. I have a question concerning a particular Seabourne name. It's the same name as your grandmother, but I'm worried your grandmother's name got mixed up and that it's incorrect. Anyway....I'll explain more when you contact me. I just don't want to share the name of your grandmother online, for her privacy.
Vic-- I would love to connect with you and see how your Price and Jones link with my Price and Jones. I'm dying to get back over to England and to visit Herefordshire!! (Maybe next summer!) You will have to tell me where to go to get information on family. I'm in the USA now, immigrated here as a girl.
Thank you!!
