Joynes of Gloucestershire

[mattJoynes]

Greetings,
I wonder if anyone can help with my search.

I have recently started to trace back my family history and the earliest I have found is William Joynes in the 1851 census. He was born abt 1816 in Temple Guiting and married Mary who was born abt 1805 in Dumbleton.

Together they had four children: Elizabeth (abt 1839), Fanny (abt 1841), Hester (abt 1844) and George (abt 1848). I am decended from George.

I would appreciate if anyone could tell me who William (or Mary's) parents were, and what they were up to in 1871 (I cannot find any census information for them during this time). Any other information would also be gratefully recieved.

I have followed this line to the present day,  and have some mysteries I'd love to solve. If anyone is a Joynes and would like me to share the information I have gained, I would be happy to do so.
Warm regards
matt

Hi Matt,

Can't help with William's or Mary's parents but I think this should be them in 1871:
RG10/2656 52 5
Temple Guiting, Gloucestershire
William Joines, head, 55, Master carpenter, b. Kineton Temple Guiting
Mary, wife, 65, b. Dumbleton

and next door:
George Joines, head, 23, Carpenter, b. Castelet? Guiting Power
Sarah, wife, 20, b. Temple Guiting 
William, son, 1, b. Kineton Temple Guiting

Hi Tanja,

Ah! I hadn't thought about other spellings. Those are definately them, and a new twist too, I had not previously know about George and Sarah's son William, I am wondering if he died early on?

Thank you so much for repsonding, and so quickly too!

Warm regards

Well, I can see a William Joynes age 31 born Kineton on the 1901 census 

[Tati]

Couldn't trace him at first but now think he may be the Arthur W age 11 in the 1881 census - What do you think?

That makes sense, certainly fits in with the ages etc. How do you find the information so quickly? I've been using Ancestry.co.uk, and to be honest I am still trying to find the 1871 records that you found...

Many thanks again
matt

You can type in the reference in the reference fields - this will lead you straight to the page.

Oh... Spellings again - must be a different transcriber. Entering the record numbers in that you found, I discover William James.

Trap for young player :0)
