Radnorshire / Re: Jane Parker (Jones) (c1830-1912) of Knighton, b. Llanfihangel Rhydithon

Hello Vincent,

I supposed that 'Boxtree' was the name of a house or farm. The census info that I posted, was information that I had copied from the original census returns about 10 years ago at the Family History Centre in London. I havent been able to locate it online.

Family Search website records a Jane Jones baptised on 27 Nov 1830 at Llanbister, Radnorshire; her parents' names are given as John Jones & Elizabeth, which correspond with the census data.

I have a 'Birthday Book' (a small notebook/diary for recording friends, & family birthdays) that was owned by Jane's daughter Alice Maria. The August 7th entry is for 'James Parker' indicating that your ancestor dropped the 'Jones' part of his name at some stage.

I'll keep looking through my notes for other info. I have photos of Alice if you are interested.

best regards

Phil Parsonage, Malvern

I have a copy of the the front page of the Parker family Bible, which shows  "James Parker Jones  born Aug 7th 1857 at 5 o'clock in the morning. Christened at Stowe, Salop". (Stowe is a couple of miles from Knighton) The way he is named would tend to confirm your notion that Jane was unmarried when James was born.

James' sister Alice Maria Parker is my wife's Gt-Grandmother.

regards Phil
