They seem to be around Northop area.

Can you always include actual birthplaces in any post.

1851 shows he was born Northop and was living in Whitford at that time

I cannot get any further bac k on my tree

Do you mean you are looking for details of Esau's parentage or are you looking for info from when he married

What census info do you already have so we don't duplicate

Somebody notified a mistranscription to the 1851 census back in 2008 comment as follows

My GGGfather - have tracked 1841 - 1871 census in samer place with same spouse

Hi thank you for your time-I am really stuck here.
I have Esau born Northop 1803 and death Holywell 1879.
I have census 41 through to 71.

His wife Maria Roberts born Whitford 1802 and died 1884.
I have been in contact with Trefor who reported the error but he has not found Esau's parentage, which I am after,either.
He says other people have contacted him and no one to date can find his parents.
Many thanks

Hi Paul,
Thank you so very much for this. Where did you find them?
I am sure this is my family. Off ancestry site I have exactly the same names but everso slightly dates
Richard 1841
John 1839
Thomas 1833
Edward 1834
Joseph 1833

The name Esau seems to get wrongly spelt by census.
Now, where do I find Esau's parents?

Esau I have as 1801/1804-Oct 1879

Do I look at parish records and which churches.
On census places he lived at are

Whitehouses
Saithboyd?-can't make that name out
Carmel
Whitford.
It does not look as though he went far.
Thank you so much once again

Hello caerfai.

I couldn't see a marriage for an Esau Jones & Maria Roberts in
Northop, Holywell, Whitford or Halkyn 1815 - 1835.

I did find a marriage for an Esaih Jones Of this parish & Maria Edwards widow Of this parish.
Nov 30 1830.

I get all my info from parish registers held at the Records office Hawarden.

How do you know his wife was Maria Roberts?

Paul.

Hi paul,
Thank you so very much for helping me I am so grateful.
I have checked M aria Roberts and you have a point.
I cannot see where anyone has verified this although I will double check. She is on lots of trees as the wife. I will check the other info . I cannot understand where Esau has got to!

Hi Paul,
I have found Maria on the census returms with Esau- an error on the name Esau by the transcriber-this was the 1851 but she is on the others too.

Name Age
Gray Jones 48
Maria Jones 48
Joseph Jones 19
Edward Jones 17
Thomas Jones 15
John Jones 12
Richard Jones 10
Ismael Jones 8
Edward Robert 84

Edward is her father so this is Maria Roberts.

What if; Maria Roberts baptised Whitford 1803 d/o Edwd & Cath married a Mr Edwards.

Mr Edwards died before 1830 and Maria Edwards(a widow) married Esaih Jones in 1830.

On the 1851 census Edward Roberts 84 would still be the father of Maria.

I think Esau, Esay, Isaiah, Esaiah has been miss spelt and or transcribed over the years and
Isaiah Jones born Northop Nov 3 baptised Nov 9 1800 s/o Joseph & Mary could be the man your looking for.

Paul.
