things are going a bit slow at the moment.
not really got any infor on thomas jones siblings and their childrne yet.
have been looking again at the rhodes siblings.
frederick rhodes b 1856, wheelock , married alice amelia b 1869
they moved to hanley by 1901 census (capt of titanics birthplace) and had 2 children mabel and cyril.
mary ellen rhodes married george priestman
george rhodes didnt get married - or at least he is living as a bacheolr with his brother frderick and family in 1901
william married anne in 1896 in toxteth park
henry albert howver MARRIED A SMITH!
she was called eleanor smith and they married in 1900. her father was born in 1850 called john smith b 1850 in halliwell in lancs. her siblings in the 1891 census were harold and eva.
is this just a coincidence? was eleanor edwards cousin??? how do i find edward smiths (ie titanic capt) uncles? edwards father (guess what - called edward smith) was born in 1805 (see 1851 census for edward john smith aged 1 ) but i dont know how to find his siblings?
in 1901 also eleanor and her relatively new husband are living with his mother ellen and guess who is next door ? edward smith (the capt of titanic) as a visitor to thomas jones and ada jones (nee rhodes) - (henrys sister)
can anyone help establish if this is the smith link? is eleanor smith who maried into the rhodes the link to capt of the titanic?
