There is also the possibility that the birth wasn't registered.
Youmay be looking for a baptism record only

Hi,

I found 14 possible births all James Jones born Holywell, North Wales between 1858-1861.  Are you unable to find these entries or do you mean you have checked all possibilities out?

I had been sending for every entry individually, but I was told on roots chat that I could just ask for those with a father named Joseph and they sent my money back saying no record existed 1859/60, I had already done 1861,William

Hi

Just in case the information is new, http://www.northwalesbmd.org.uk/ has births listed by sub-registration district. Sometimes that is helpful.

Do you think the baptism (IGI extracted) at Cilcain in Dec 1859 is too far away from Holywell itself? The father is down as Jope. Cilcain is in the Holywell district (Mold 4 subdistrict according to Genuki).

Have seen that record but can't understand why I can't find a confirmation on any census, nothing shows up on Ancestry william

 Hi,He married an Elizabeth Stevenson,in 1891 they were living in 308 Oldham rd newton Manchester, He was a Bricklayer, the witnesses were Thomas Young and Mary Vernon( who later Married),He never appears on a Census with a Joseph as a Father that i can see, this is about all I know .William

Is he down as a bricksetter in 1901 census?

I wonder if this is him in 1881?

Toxteth Park, Lancs
James Jones lodger 21 born Buckley Wales, labourer
Head of household is James Bostock 38 born Buckley, Flint, brick maker

The birth places of the Bostock family are all down as Buckley but James Bostock is elsewhere as born Hawarden so Buckley may be used as the handiest place.

Could be,he is down as a bricksetter in 1901, but just can't be sure, still don't understand why he doesn't show up in 1871 with his father Joseph,william
