Hi Pinetree,
It's also good to find someone else looking into this branch of the family. Ralph and Ellen had two grandsons that emigrated to New Zealand. (1) James (my GtGtGrandfather) was the son of Matthew Jenkins Jones and was raised in Mill Lane, Fazely. (2) (another) Matthew Jenkins Jones was the son of John Jones who lived across the canal in Brookend. Ellen was Ellen Jenkins, which explains the Matthew Jenkins part. From one of the replies to your post I'm wondering if Ralph and Ellen lived with John at Brookend. I don't have much on Ralph and Ellen, although as a cotton spinner I imagine he went to Fazely to work at Peel's mill. Ralphs parents may have been Charles Jones and Esther Lord - if anyone can verify this I'd be happy.
I'm just heading off for a few days holidays so will be back in touch in the New Year.
