Hi Ivan,

It's amazing what a fresh set of eyes notices! I'd not even realised there were Joneses next door in 1861. I'll certainly have a look into this seeing as I'm really struggling trying to find any other leads with the two Thomases.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi

I think that Kitchen Street was in the Liverpool-St Thomas registration district.  Unfortunately in 1841 this seems to include 57 enumeration districts.  Kitchen Street is not in ED 18 or 36 but I am running out of time to check the rest - will come back in a few hours and try again if necessary.

Hi

As far as I can tell in the 1841 census Kitchen Street was spread across enumeration districts 28 and 29.  I have looked at the images and could find only one Thomas Jones, 25, Labourer, born in county.   (HO 107/566/15 12 p19)  The 1841 census is not very reliable on age but this Thomas is listed as a labourer not a cooper and as born in Lancashire not Wales.

All the best
