Arthur JONES - Loppington c 1780's

[scarrnz]

I am trying to work out whether I have the right Arthur Jones.  The story so far:

Arthur Richards bc1836 in Overton was the son of Edward Richards bc1809 in Loppington, who was the son of Edward Richards (bc 1766 Loppington) and Hannah nee Jones married in 1806 in Loppington.  She was the daughter of Arthur and Mary Jones and the eldest of six children baptised in Loppington.

Is this Arthur Jones the one who married Mary Kynaston in Ellesmere in 1786?  Was he married once before to Anne and had 3 children baptised in Loppington?  Who were his parents?

Any assistance gratefully received!

Hello, and Welcome to Rootschat

You profile doesn't show where you are, but you would need to contact the Shropshire Archives to check out Loppington and Ellesmere parish registers.

http://www.shropshire.gov.uk/archives.nsf

If you are able to get to the Archives in person then I would highly recommend a day there searching through the microfiche.  It's great!!

Just looking at your Richards family,it is a bit of a long shot;Do you have a Mathew Richards within this Family?

Hi Scarnz
Just joined Rootschat and trawling through noticed your question on Arthur Jones
"Arthur Richards bc1836 in Overton was the son of Edward Richards bc1809 in Loppington, who was the son of Edward Richards (bc 1766 Loppington) and Hannah nee Jones married in 1806 in Loppington.  She was the daughter of Arthur and Mary Jones and the eldest of six children baptised in Loppington.
Is this Arthur Jones the one who married Mary Kynaston in Ellesmere in 1786?  Was he married once before to Anne and had 3 children baptised in Loppington?  Who were his parents?"

Going back from a confirmed person I have a John Richards b 1872 son of Arthur b 1846 (wife Hannah) [now it gets tricky and unconfirmed] son of Arthur b1807 Loppington or Newtown wife Ann - Arthur son of I believe Edward b ? married Hannah (Jones ?) 1806 Loppington
May be a connection somewhere but there are a lot of Richards in the Shropshire area and its confusing to decide which one it is - you may able to shed some light on this

Hi. I have an established line through to Arthur Jones of Loppington c.mid 1700's who married Mary, their issue being Hannah, who married Edward Richards, thence an established line down to myself Ian Richards.

If anyone wants to share information on this branch, please contact me, we may be able to fill in each others missing pieces.

Cheers, Ian

Hi Ian (Boatggypsy)
The informatin you have on the Richards line would be extremely useful, I have confirmed dates of Arthur from a family bible I obtained when my Nanna Mary Alice Lee (nee Richards) passed away, she was the daughter of John Richards born in Sandbach, he was the son of Arthur Richards who was the son of Arthur Richards, it gets confusing doesnt it.
I believe the Richards family must have moved from the Shropshire area towards Crewe, Sandbach, although I am not convinced the second Arthur Richards was from Loppington, if you let me know what info you have we could then compare notes

Hi All,

with the help of a lot of others, on this site and elsewhere, I now have, I think, a clear link from the Richards/Jones families of Loppington to Humphrey Kynaston of Myddle - the summary is as follows:

Principal                                   Spouse

Humphrey Kynaston c1468     Margred ferch Williams c1465 (or poss
                                                                                  Elsbet ferch Maredudd)
Edward Kynaston c1515       Margaretta Lloyd c1515
Richard Kynaston c1543        Margaret Twyford c1543
Edward Kynaston c1620        Mary Jeffries c1620
Edward Kynaston c1643        Mary Griffiths c1647
Edward Kynaston c1673       Mary Millward c1675
Edward Kynaston c1701      Jane Dicken c1706
Edward Kynaston c1735     Mary Bellis c1724
Mary Kynaston c1762        Arthur Jones c1763
Hannah Jones c1787        Edward Richards c1781

I'm 99% sure that this is correct, but if anyone has evidence to the contrary, I'd like to hear it.
