Brilliant work PB!
Clare & I have deduced that Lettice & Jane were both married in Portsea in April & July 1850 respectively. It seems their father Thomas Jones died after Lettice’s marriage but before Jane’s. This is quite a small window of time but as Thomas Jones is quite a common name & we don’t know where he died, it’s not an easy task.
Clare, I’ve had a look at Free BMD & there are no deaths in Pembroke or Portsea for this time period. I wonder if we are looking at an event like Charles Bureau’s where the death was not registered in the normal fashion.

My grandfather was born in 21 Rhiw Park, Abertillery in July 1903, does anyone know who was living at this address at the time? Looking at the map I can see there is a Rhiw Park, road, terrace & mews, I’m not sure if all three of these streets were in existence in 1903.
In attendance at the birth & the person registering the birth was Elizabeth Thomas.
My grandfathers mother was named Beatrice Lewis, she was an unmarried mother & possibly not usually resident at Rhiw Park.
If anyone knows who was registered as living there during the 1901 census this info might also be helpful.
Thanks in advance for any contributions

Hi to everyone who’s been on the trail of Charles Bureau father of Charles Abraham Bureau.
Just putting a note here as progress has been made! Clare & I were lucky enough to have met several clever & kind people who were able to point us in the right direction.
Here’s a link to the thread, it’s a long one with plenty of twists & turns along the way, so do read to the end.

We would now like to know more about Charles’ wife Janes’s ancestry, if anyone has made any headway on this we’d love to hear from you.

Just had a closer look & column 9 is quite interesting, “Marie/non Marie” married or single?
For Charles it indicates that he’s married, Charles & Jane married in 1850.

Just waking up to your message Polar Bear, what a find, many thanks for sharing 
In this entry it is quite nice to see the name simply written as Charles Bureau rather than the full name of Charles Ferdinand Bureau dit Sancoucy, which rather explains why (if this is the same Charles married to Jane), just Charles Bureau was used in other documentation in England.
There is an extensive family tree for Charles Ferdinand posted on Family Search, & whilst the birth & death dates are entered for his parents & sibling there is no date of death for Charles. I’ve recently tried contacting the person who posted the tree to compare notes but no reply so far.
Seeing the crossed out entry of the two sons not resident in Canada is so very serendipitous!
