Walter Beaver Jones 1891 &1901 Census Lookups

[IanLambert]

Can someone please look up Walter Beaver Jones (a Liverpool journalist b Wales c1873 ) on 1901 census.

In 1907 he was at 88 Sea View Road, Liscard, Wirral. Not sure where he was in 1891 but it would be great if anyone could find him then! - could be Wales, Wirral or even Liverpool. His father was Walter Jones (tanner & Currier deceased prior to 1907)

Thanks

Ages might help. Jones is not an uncommon name!

Anna.  Sorry you have given a birth date.

[IanLambert]

Apologies but that's my issue - I don't have one

His marriage in 1907 gives his age as 34 which is the nearest to a d.o.b. I have

In later Canadian censuses he & his family surnames are Beaver Jones but his father was simply (Walter) Jones. I wondered if his father had married a girl with a surname Beaver but again I haven't been able to trace.

Any idea what he did as a living?  I have found a Walter B Jones in 1901 born Barmouth : RG13 3456 126 page 13 living with his widowed sister in law Elizabeth Jones.  He occupation was given as 'Accountant Ches, CoCo'.  He was single at that time.  They were living at Walton on the Hill, Liverpool.

Hi Anna

Yes, he was a journalsit and his father a tanner and courier. I have found a possibilty in West derby, Liverpool in 1881 although father's occupation is different - shipping clerk. This is under RG11 3709/10 Page 14. Father is Walter Jones 60 born Caernarvon and Walter B Jones 9 scholar b Merioneth. Mother is Catherine 48 b Penzance Cornwall.

I can't confirm though that this is him

Barmouth is in Merioneth - or what was  Merioneth.  If this is him his age was given as 26 in 1901, which is a bit way out as 34 in 1907.  He might have aged 8 years in 6 years.  If you get my meaning.

Thanks Anna

Ah ha! That 1881 census looks very promising then - I will try to find the marriage between Walter (snr) & Catherine perhaps to help confirm and also that birth. Perhaps Walter (snr) changed occuopation, moved to Liverpol then his som became a journalsit there.

To confirm, I have just found Walter Beaver Jones b June Q 1871 Dolgellau district - thsi isn't far from barmouth at all. Loks like his age oi nmy marraige cert may be slightly out but that isn't unusual! The 1891 census then ties in with 1881 too


Thanks
