Dear Hallamette,
I am related to John OWENS born abt 1850 (boatman from Gogarth in 1872 when married) and Margaret JONES bn abt 1846.(from Adwy Rudd in 1872 when married). I am trying to prove to myself John's parentage. I have a couple of possibles
1. John OWENS bn 1823 who married a Susannah JONES in 1849
2. John OWENS bn 1823 who married Margaret ROBERTS
It seems my branch may link into yours and so any help would be much appreciated.
John Jnr's father in 1872 is noted as a labourer (John Jnr marriage cert) and Margaret Jones father was Hugh Jones a miner at that time. The couple had 7 children
Emily Agnes bn 1874, John bn abt 1875, William Hugh bn 1877, Susannah Ann bn 1878, Robert bn abt 1880, Sarah bn abt 1882, Thomas bn abt 1886
Hope some of this sounds familiar
Regards
Jo
