where did she come from

[brian1944]

Catherine Jones where did she come from who was her mother we know she had a sister elizabeth(known as lizzie) and a brother thomas.catherine married joseph james powell in pontypridd in 1917 marriage cert states she was married from 23 tylacelyn rd in penygraig rhondda her father name is given as john jones a miner in 1920 she lived at 13 hill street penygraig rhondda that is where her son was born in 1920 is name was john he was my hubbys father.
We know at sometime in the 60s 70s lizzie was a patient at the parc mental hospital in bridgend her name then was elizabeth curtis she has been deaceased many years we have no living relatives to ask so its really like looking for a needle in a haystack there are so many catherine joneses fogot to say she was born in 1898

You could try asking on here if anyone has acess to the 1901 census, if she was born in 1898 she would have been around 3 at the time of the census,if her brother and sister were older than her they would have been on it as well, I know Jones is a common name but it is worth a try

Best wishes Bethan

on marriage cert they got married in pontypridd on 1st may 1916 she was age 17yrs if that is correct she was born in 1899 not 1898 as we was led to believe she was born on july the 11th no profession on cert her father john jones miner.
I have tried our local library no luck the only thing the lady in the library could tell me that in 1918 at 23 tylacelyn rd (under) which i take to be a under house (rooms) there live a henry jones elizabeth jones and john jones which we assume is catherines father,elizabeth was born 1895 not sure when thomas was born maybe 1893.

Hi Patricia.

If the information about where they were living in 1918, if this comes from the Electoral Register, I don't think Elizabeth would have been mention, the age for this to be entered was 30 for a women, so Elizabeth may be the mother and Henry and an older brother.

Do you have the marriage certificate for Elizabeth, did she have children, do you know who Thomas married, have you found  death or burial record for John, local to where they lived, as there may be a grave with information about both the parents.
