Merionethshire / Frances Jones (1853 - 1873)
« on: Friday 24 June 11 14:41 BST (UK)  »
Robert Jones (1807 - 1892) and his wife Jane Parry (1816 - 1879) both of LLanuwchllyn had various children including Frances (1853 - 1873). We know all these dates are correct and can find her on the 1861 and 1871 censuses. She died from smallpox. The Merioneth records office in Dolgellau confirmed the year of death - it was registered under Corwen which would have covered LLanuwchllyn at that time. However, neither they nor ourselves can find any record of a burial in Merionethshire. Any ideas? We did wonder if she had been buried on a farm somewhere but surely there would still have been a record of place of burial.

I was worried a bit about the different ages.

Thank you so much - very kind of you. She's on the 1911 one in Treforest with her eldest son.

Are you related?

I couldn't find her or Peter in the 1851 census - nor on any other censuses except for the 1881 one and her on the 1911 one. Am waiting for the voucher to arrive for membership to fully access the other censuses and have just been trying the free looks. As I said I am very new to this.

I will try and find him under Abergavenny in 1901 - many thanks.

Do you know her parents' names  on the 1851 one please - I am soooo looking forward to be able to access it all!

oops - yes I traced her as Eliza Ward on the Gloucester records as being born in 1848 in the Forest of Dean - her mother's maiden name was Hale.

the eldest son ended up in Eglwysilan, Treforest. I traced Eliza from the 1911 census when she was visiting him. There she was 1845 but when I traced her on the 1881 census she was born in Coleford and her eldest son was also born there in 1872 which ties into the Treforest census.

Have no idea of the Abergavenny connection. What is that?

Gloucestershire / Webb Peter b 1850

Apologies as I am new at this. I think my great grandfather is Peter Webb b 1850 in Lydbrook Glos married Eliza Webb b 1846 in Berry Hill Coleford.  In 1911 census she was born in 1845 yet on the birth record 1848! Is this normal?

Anyone out there related to this pair?

I have sent you a pm explaining I have now found the correct password so don't need to log in as Gwenllian. Will email you when I can get out on that bit.

Can you understand the top of Page 2? I have virtually given up on it. On page 1 Sian/Ann/Jane is the same person and is the person 1. Ann and later 2. Jane on page 2. According to page 1 she married Edward Jones (Crydd) who is 2. Edwards son of John ...... on page 2 who died on 1.1.86.

So where does the marriage of Edward Jones of LLan and Jane Williams married in 1808 fit in? Can't be a second marriage as Sian/Ann/Jane was still alive and never died until 1866! Is it the same Sian/Ann/Jane taking her father's Christian name as a surname?

lovely to hear from you. I've been struggling to understand the first few pages but think I have now cracked it with William Dafydd and Ann Roberts at the top of the tree and a Welsh dictionary to work out words that my husband (with first language Welsh) has never heard of!!!!!!!!!!!
