Hi

Thanks again for this

Not that I know of. Perhaps the census ages are wrong instead - They seem to have moved around a lot - Another daughter born New York!!!

I shouldn't worry over much about age.  I have one: 1851 aged 43; 1861: 47; 1871 45 and 1881 72!  I know that it is the same person as she was a spinster and living with her sisters.

Anna

All the other Walter Jones that I have found on the 1901 are 'ag. labs' which doesn't quite fit in the professions of the family.  I'm pretty certain that we have the correct one.

Spanner in the works!! Sorry.

I have just looked at the 1891 for the Jones family who Walter B was living with in 1901.  They have on the 1901 an Elizabeth a widow head of the household, and Walter B is purpotedly her brother not brother in law.   

On the 1891 I looked for the daughter Hilda, who was on the 1901 and there they were with a David Jones as head of the household with the various children matching with the 1901.  There doesn't appear to be a David on the earlier census which Ladyhawk found.  However this David was born in Liverpool, and aged 34 on the 1891 which makes him born in 1867.

Walter is not an accountant but I think an assistant.  Not particularly easy to read.  He was however born in Merioneth.

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that the 1901 that I found is possibly wrong.  Anna

Sorry, I take back all that I said in the previous message.  His sister is Elizabeth Jones born in Pwllheli.  She must have married a Jones. Jones + Jones.  The 1901 I found IS him  :)   Sorry for the confusion.  An aberation on my part.  Do you have access to the 1901 census.  If not I can PM a copy to you.

I have been looking for him on the 1911.  Did he go to Canada before then?  I have found his marriage in Church Streeton to either Mary Jane Gwillam or Elizabeth Emma Hanson.  If he didn't go to Canada until after 1911 I can use the wife's name as well as his to find them on 1911.

Hi Anna

Walter married Elizabeth Emma Hanson (1879-1979) on 4th Dec 1907 in Ch Stretton.

The family emigrated to Canada initially to Kelowna B.C., then Calgary -  I believe in1912. They were more than likely in Cheshire on the Wirral in 1911.

By that time they had 2 sons, Hugh Beaver Jones b Mar Q 1909 (Birkenhead district) & Geoffrey Beaver Jones b Wallasey district 1911. They seemed to adopt the 'Beaver' part of Walter's name into their surnames. (His father's name was simply Walter Jones). Later newspaper articles confirm that Walter was a Liverpool journalist and subsequently an editor on the Calgary Herald.
