Hi Rob

Thank you so much for replying... nice to find someone also descended from the Jones family.  Haven't found too many from that direct line as yet :)

I've been researching my tree since January and have 2500 individuals already! And adding more daily.

Now, I searched for Nancy Jones on the IGI and found her and yes indeed her mother was Elizabeth Jones eldest sister of Robert.  So, I've put her into my tree along with the nine children I found for her and Thomas on the Family Search. 

Please tell me more about how your line comes down from them.  Are you living in the Millom area?  I live in Carlisle.

Nancy then is my 1st cousin 3 times removed so what is our relationship to one another I wonder?

I have two possibilities for spouse of Thomas Towers.. either Anne Myers or Elizabeth Jackson.  One Thomas Towers born 1750 and one 1751 with different spouses but in Millom area.

Now my Gr Gr Grandmother Hannah Braithwaite was one of the Braithwaite's of Eskdale, her parents being Legion Braithwaite and Frances Hartley.  They were both from long established families of Eskdale.  Ann Braithwaite is quite possibly related in some way.

I noticed there were several other Woodburn families in the same area at the time Thomas and Nancy were having their children so I think they are more than likely Thomas's brothers?

I haven't found out any more as yet about William Jones or where he came from but like you I am still searching.

I have my tree posted on MyHeritage and would be happy to invite you to view it there if you let me have your email address.

Hope we can keep in touch,
very best wishes...

Can anyone help me with any info on this family please.

William Jones b. Millom 1770 m. Hannah Towers.
 
I have traced my line back as far as William.  His son Robert b. 1804 Millom  m. Hannah Braithwaite.  Robert's son John b. 1841 Millom m. Elizabeth Dickinson of Suberthwaite, Lancs.  John is my great granfather. 

Any help much appreciated.  :)

Hi Barbara

I'm Barbara too btw!  :D

Thanks for the info... very much obliged.

One particular thing is I couldn't locate Elizabeth Jones on the 1891 census when presumably she had moved away from home, perhaps gone into service.  I don't have unlimited access to the censuses anywhere as yet so haven't been able to search for her... it may or may not help me to know where she was and what she was doing in that period of time.

When you order a birth cert do you have to pay extra for the full version only the short version wouldn't tell you much would it?

Hi.. sorry for delay in replying.
No I have info from all censuses thanks.
Sadly I don't have my dad's birth cert... my estranged brother holds it!
I will consider purchasing I think... I believed them to be about £30 to buy not £7... that seems much more reasonable.
Thanks for all your help :)

Hi Barbara

Sorry... I went offline the other evening straight after I put my message on and just got back here now.

No I don't have my dad's birth certificate nor have I seen any of his siblings cert's but I doubt there would be anything there to help.  My cousin, the son of dad's older brother, told me none of the children knew who their father was but I suppose there is just a chance that's not the case.. I only have his word for it.  I am going to try and get my dad's birth cert off my estranged brother but if he wont let me have it then I will have to purchase a copy which for me is quite expensive... and then to get all his siblings cert's would be more than I could afford right away.  But it's certainly a good idea  :)
Thanks for sending those census's read-outs... I hadn't seen the 1891 info... which tells me there was another son, William, whom I hadn't known about. 
I really am very grateful for your reply.

Lancashire / Elizabeth Jones b.Lowick 1873

Researching my family tree and need to know more about my grandmother Elizabeth Jones born at Lowick in 1873.   All I know for sure is that she had 5 illegitimate children, my late father being the 4th, but he always insisted he never knew who his and his siblings father was. 
He had the curious name John Bernard Coward Jones and as Coward was/is quite a common name in the Lowick area I wonder if that might have been a clue to his father's identity. 
There was a Bernard Coward living in Lowick in 1901 age 21. 
In 1901 Elizabeth was living at Lowick with her three oldest children and her father John Jones born Millom 1841.
As Jones family relatives are now thin on the ground I am at a loss as to how to continue my quest so if there is anyone out there who may have any snippet of information they think might help I would be glad to hear it... or if anyone can give me any idea of how to proceed.
