Wales / Re: William Austin Jenkins
« on: Tuesday 11 February 20 17:34 GMT (UK) »
I can find no record of John Returning to Wales. I have been able to narrow down his departure based on when his children here in the USA were born and when his wife Patience was found living without John. There is no documented marriage license for John and Patience.
Patience and John had at least four children: George, William, Walter and Nelena. The United States Census for 1900 infers that Patience Jenkins had five children, three of whom are living (William, Walter and Nelena). It appears a fifth child was born and died prior to 1900.
Based upon information passed down by family members and based on information available, it appears John Jenkins returned to Wales sometime between 1897 and 1900. The obituary for his brother Evan W. Jenkins on July 19, 1901 indicates John Jenkins is a resident of Wales. Family lore has John remarrying upon returning to Wales and rearing additional children.
The United States Census for 1900 shows Patience Jenkins residing children William, Nelina and Walter Jenkins along with Holliday (Huldah) Walker and Bob Walker, her son, in Miners Mills, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. It is believed Huldah Walker is Patience’s grandmother.
I do have detailed information on some of John's siblings if that is helpful.
