Im now looking for any information on one Minnie Jones, who my mother recalled 'lived in Halifax as part of my Jones family who lived for a time with David Jones and his wife Ada (Dean) and then married Charlie; and their two daughters – Betty and Jean – still live in Halifax. Any suggestions?

thanks to you all for more info re David Jones and his father and the Guy family. Im still looking for why Sarah Guy went to Birmingham - presumably for a job. and also what she did there before she met David John Jones

thankyou Dundee - thats interesting. So David John Jones was born in 1851 in Birmingham and his father, another David Jones seems to have been born in Handsworth.

Im told that my grandfather David Jones had a brother, William Jones who had been a trades union activist in Birmingham and Rochdale - any info on him, or more on why Sarah  Guy went to Birmingham and what she was doing there. I think she might have been employed in a hotel...

Hi Annie - my mother always said that an earlier David Jones came from Gloucester and that the family originated in Wales. Bu I think David J Jones who married Sarah Guy was born in Birmingham, as was his father before him - but Im not sure.

Also I would like to know more about Sarah after she went to Birmingham

Are you also interested in these families or someone else?

Thanks to Annie and Ladyhawk - yes - thats them.. thankyou. Im interested to know more about Sarah in particular and why she went from Crewe Kerne to Birmingham - or whether she went first to Gloucester.

Hi there =  In 1851, Jasper Guy (now 30) was living in the house of Charles (27) and Eliza (21) Gale - and their little daughter Elizabeth (2) and little son John (1) - and was employed as a house servant, with his wife Joanna and daughters Elizabeth, Sarah, and Mary Jane (6 months), and son William (5). His youngest son Samuel was born in 1858.
In 1861, he was still in Sherborne with his wife and daughters Elizabeth and Sarah (aged about 12) – where are Mary James and William - and little Samuel (aged 3). Jasper Guy was now a farm labourer; but somehow, later, he became a gentleman’s dresser – he is described also as ‘servant at Mr Penny’s’.
Most likely this was The Reverend Charles Penny of Abbey Street (Hunt & Co.'s Directory of Dorsetshire, Hampshire, & Wiltshire 1851).
