Baptism of John Jones  IGI C057631

14th October, 1830 Clyro, Radnor, Wales

Father: James Jones
Mother: Mary

James Lewis

US 1880 Census  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania   (not Poughkeepsie!!)

Lewis James 47 born Wales Engineer, Father & Mother born  Wales
Lewis Annie  38 born Wales House keeping, Father & Mother born  Wales
Lewis Agnes 21 born Wales Dress maker, Father & Mother born  Wales

James is the correct age, but Annie has taken a few years off!  Can't find the family in Wales in 1861 census.  Have a feeling I've checked this before and discounted it, perhaps occupation "Engineer" didn't ring true?

Hello Dash.

Can see you have been burning the mid-night oil with these exciting new discoveries.
Looks as if the James Lewis and Ann Powell marriage would be Wales if Agnes was born in Wales.  The USA does not have a BMD index like the UK and what is available varies state to state. Can't instantly see them on the 1870 census.
It isn't unusual for immigration dates and ages to vary from census to census, sometimes I wonder if they did'nt know and could'nt remember.

I think I may have some of the information you are looking for...please contact me about the Powells/aubreys

I haven't got the JONES in my tree so I can't tell you anything about them. I won't say that they aren't part of my tree except that I haven't added that branch yet!!! ..
I descend from the AUBERYS ... MARY AUBERY has a sister ANN in Wales.. she is my direct ancester. I only recently found the link to MARY in Pennsylvania because I found a letter written by JANET POWELL to ADA and I went in search of these people, the letter was about her grandfather AUBERY in Wales.
Since posting I have found out a lot about JOHN POWELL and his wife MARY AUBREY ... and their children Janet + ADA + JOHN + AUBERY all POWELLS of course.
I also know more about the AUBREYS back in Wales as they are my direct line. Although THOMAS AUBREY marys father is my brick wall. I can't find his parents.
What is very interesting is that JANET POWELL was also very intersted in family history as was her sister ADA and Janet has written many articles about the Aubrey family home and generally about the family, but sadly she didn't have any proof of the direct lineage either, so it remains very vague.
If I remember correctly the MARY in wales that you have linked in the wrong MARY AUBERY, there are several, but I may be mistaken as it was a few days ago that I read through your posts.
I would be very interested in contacting you via e-mail to see if we can fill in the gaps or add to each others information.
