Am having a problem trying to verify the parents of a Robert Charles (?) Jones b. Llanfair Talhaiarn, Denbighshire 1847 who married a Margaret Jones b. Liverpool 1845 & had 5 children, the first two born out in Chile where Robert was a Missionary or a Calvanistic Methodist Minister.
I thought I had the correct line through a William & Hannah Jones in Llanfair Talhaiarn but I now think not. I can't really apply for a birth certificate without pretty definite evidence that I have the right Robert. Can any of you wonderful folk put me on the right track? I could then hopefully give the Xmas gift I was hoping to give! Thank you.

Who does he name as his father on the marriage certificate?
And what was his father's occupation?
-
He should be traceable through his brother Joseph Seth as in

The entry in the 1851 census which matches has his mother as Jane.Trying to find the family in 1841 or 1861

I think I have found the family in 1841,but again only the mother Jane is listed.Not sure the 1861 exists.As they were Calvinist Methodists,I'llsee if other earlier children appear on the Blackwell Index.

This suggests his father was Charles Jones.While the mother is given as Jane I have seen a reference to a step mother elsewhere,so more digging is required.It seems there is a diary published of Joseph Seth.

Charles(1800-1867) and Jane(1802-1858) were the parents,though I have yet to find the marriage and baptisms(can't find my Blackwell Index at the moment).Charles must have re-married following the death of Jane,as a Mary Jones is described as widow/relict/executrix in Charles' will,probate granted 1869.

Thank you so much. I did have a Jane as a possibility & I will now go with that line.. I am very grateful; methinks, if I get the time, I can possibly finish the tree by Xmas Day! Thanks again.
