Hi Jackie, Jan, and everyone,
I am also looking into Jones in Welshpool. I wonder if any of this rings a bell?! ....
Elizabeth Evans (born c1785) married Morris Jones (bap 1776 Ruyton xi Towns) in Welshpool in 1806. I believe he was mayor of Welshpool in 1843 just before he died.
They had 4 children all born in Welshpool:
Eliza Mary Jones (ch 1814),
Harriet Ann Jane Jones (ch 1816, who married Rev John Hudson),
Morris Charles Jones (ch 1819,who married Elizabeth Paterson),
and Sophia Caroline Jones (ch 1825, who married an Independent minister Rev Henry Kerrison apparently from Shocklach, Cheshire).
Sophia Caroline Jones was my great great grandmother.
Are any of these names relevant to anyone? If so please let me know!!
best wishes,
Rona Wilkins. xx

Hi Jan,
Thanks so much for your research. Funnily enough that is exactly the website that came up when I typed in my g g grandparents names!! That's where I found out that Morris Jones was mayor of Welshpool! :) What goes around comes around! It is a great website ... I recommend it to everyone! I have padded out my family tree quite a lot from it, though mainly my Evans lot. I then increased that tree from looking at censuses and I have found an Evans cousin, all thanks to that website!!! I hope you find some rellies there too. Good luck with all your searching,
Rona. xx
oh and P.S ... if you ever go to Shochlach grave hunting etc, please keep an eye out for any Kerrisons for me as Henry is one of my brick walls! Thank you!!

Hi Rona
You are very welcome!!!
I have already done the grave hunting trip to Shocklach but need to go back because I have now found out the married names of some of my female Challinor's.
I knew the name Kerrison rang a little bell....................I had an 1861 Cheshire census look up done for me for all my Challinor's from Shocklach and one of the entries was this:
RG9-1891-F98 Green Farm, Cuddington, Whitchurch (which isn't that far away from Shocklach)
Martha Challoner serv 13 House Serv Shocklach Working for a George and Mary Kerrison
If you want the full transcription, Peter Bennett did the look up for me. You could always put a request on the Cheshire Look up Board and quote the RG reference no. Mark it for his attention!!!!
Good Luck
Jan
