Lost Family in Yorkshire

[irene33]

Let me just touch base where I got to with the parents of Barbara Jones

Her mother is Elizabeth Maddison BUT there is no marriage listed.  The only marriage listed for John Edward Jones is with Elizabeth Morrison.  As I have 7 children to prove they "married" and as I have been down this road before it could be a waste of time for all of us. 

John Edward Jones is from Debighshire, Wales (according to census reports) but I am pretty sure his father's name was John. 

As there are so many Jones around I thought I would try another route, because all the research I and others have done before haven't got us any further.  I do know that John Edward Jones left Easington after his wife died and he died in Lancashire.  But I don't know when or where.

I do know from information from my family that Barbara Jones siblings most of them lived in Easington until about mid 1930s.  I do know from talking to my dad that some lived in Huddersfield.   I actually met Francis, Elizabeth (Lizzie) when I lived in England as a child.
Any ideas anyone - I have to go...its 11:48am in Vancouver and work beckons me...Thanks

I forgot to say about the Maddison side.  This is correct

Address:   Water Street, Thornley
County:   Durham

                           
MADDISON, Mark   Head   1849   Fireman In Coal Mine Co Durham Pittington     
MADDISON, Mary   Wife   1856      Co Durham Pittington     
MADDISON, Elizabeth                   1875        ThornbyCo Durham     
MADDISON, Sarah   Daughter                   1877   ThornbyCo Durham     
MADDISON, Bartholomew   Son   1878    ThornbyCoDurham     
MADDISON, Thos   Son                   1879    ThornbyCo Durham     
MADDISON, Francis Ann   Daughter   1889   ThornbyCo Durham     
MADDISON, Gowan R   Son   1890   ThornbyCo Durham     

I dont' have the information in front of me but I believe Sarah married an Etherington, Sarah married a Nicholson. 
This side of the family I have all the information it is the Jones side that is the problem.

I think the John Edward Jones/Elizabeth Morrison marriage may be the correct one. Maddison could easily be mistaken for morrison ("DD" could easily be mistaken for "RR")

The best way to resolve that would be to purchase the marriage cert - =and specifiy Elizabeth's father's forename

On which census does it state John Edward was b Denbighshire?

At least we were on the right track Pughy - Strange about the marriage cert though. According to 1911 census they had been married 17 years which means 1894 but I can see nothing will keep looking - if we can find that then Irene can send for cert to confirm fathers name

Found one on the 1881 census parents Edward and Mineva living in Shropshire

[teaurn]

Thats the only one I can find which uses a reference to Churk(Chirk on 1881)except the year of birth is listed as 1872

Unless he had listed John without using the E and then it could take a while.

I thought reseaching Clark(e) in London was hard enough searching Jones in Wales certainly beats that.

Makes it more interesting though

Genuki
Chirk- a parish in the union of Oswestry, hundred of Chirk, county  of Denbigh
Chirk Green Denbigh -United methodist Free Church (English language)

Reg district Oswestry

I don't think there is another John Edward Jones of correct y.o.b. from Chirk

Which seems strange because Oswetry comes under Shropshire or was it Wales back then

[suzard]

Oswestry registration district spans the borders of Denbighshire & Shropshire - Chirk is very near to Shropshire border

and look at this

1871
