Lovely to see pictures of th Blacks,unfortunatley my research has ground to a halt over recent months a combination of work pressure, family and a total failure of my PC!! I am hoping to get all the software and back ups finally installed on the new PC this week and get going again.

Aunty Ellen who was the daughter of John Black sadly died in May of this year in hospital in Canada with her daughter at her side at the age of 100

Hi, John Jones (Black) was my gt grandfather he married mary Catherine Williams and they had 6 Children

Sophie married jack Stathem and lived in SOuthport until after Jack died when she went out to Canada to live with her family
John Jones married  Emma Nuttall had 2 Children Alison and Claire and lived in manchester until his death
Blodwen Married Walter Kirkman emigrated to Canada and had 2 children Walter and mary walter and Mary are still in Canada
Ellen married Albert Berry and had 2 children Patricia and ian. Ian died in childhood Ellen Albert Patricia and her husband emigrated to Canada in the 50's and Aunty ellen who is the only sibling still alive celebrated her 100th birthday in November last year
Mair married William Tomlinson and had 2 children Ian and William they live in Kendal
margaret (my grandmother married Robert lewis they had 4 Children Ellen lives in Bangor and her 2 children live in Caernarvon, John lives in Rhos on sea, margaret my mum and Robert who lives in Connahs Quay John and Robert have no children

From what I have been able to find out Johns sister Sophie married someone from South wales but we are not sure who There are still cousins living around Angelsey I have some family letters I am in the process of sorting out. There was an Auntie nelly who lived in Holwell and had no Children not sure if she is Ellen Jane. Its all abit confusing with some of the family known as Black but my side taking on the name Jones

James Black William and Henry's father is a bit of a dead end at the moment it seems he was born in Heligoland and I have been unable to trace anything from there

Did you ever find out how to get more information I have a relative James Black born in Heligoland in 1821, I am assuming his father was a sailor posted over there as it was a naval base but am stumped as how to go any further

I have found that my gt.gt.gt Uncle, Henry Black (b1850) moved to Liverpool from North Wales and was married to a girl called Mary from Dumfries they had 7 children and Henry is listed as a cocoa house manager.
Has anyone come across any of the Blacks and what is a cocoa house manager

My gt grandfather was John Jones (b around 1875) but he was originally John Black his father was William Black(b around 1851) and his mother Margaret Jones (b around 1849)
I have found William in the 1861 census as a child living in Menai Bridge but he dissapears from the 1871 census there is a William Black in the 1881 census who is listed as a widower.
I know that Johns mother died and he went to live with his grandparents but can find no trace of him anywhere. I think the confusion is caused by him taking his grandparents name any advice what to do next would be appreciated. John was known as Jones throughout his adult life but was registered as Black

The branch of the family from pentre Bont is Williams as it happens Daniel and Ann Williams m 1865 one of their children Ellinor (Ellen) b1876 was my gt. grandmotherThey were at pentre bont between 1865 and 1873 so my taid was a little out with his places. I have the front page of the family bible which has given me all the details sadly the rest of the bible had fallen to pieces and the page I have is very fragile
