Samuel Jones died 1970
« on: Saturday 27 August 16 02:14 BST (UK) »
My step-grandad, Samuel Jones was born and lived on a barge in Runcorn in Cheshire and I would like help in finding any records of his family. I only know that he was married to my nan, Winifred may Jones and he died at easter in 1970.

Easter 1970 was at the end of March and I searched FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl for a Samuel/Sam Jones who died in 1970 in Runcorn.   Only one came up - Sam Jones born 1 Oct 1895 who died in the March Quarter 1970 Runcorn Vol 10a Page 1667

Also searching on FreeBMD for Sam Jones marrying your nan in Runcorn the only marriage I found was Sam Jones to Winifred M Kilpatrick in March Quarter 1961 Volume 10a Page 997

If correct the marriage cert would list his father's name and occupation

Kay

Edit - This may just be a coincidence but in the 1901 census this family was living in Runcorn with Sam of the right age and his father was a barge waterman??

Sam Jones    39 barge waterman b Runcorn
Sarah A Jones 36 b Stoke upon Trent, Staffordshire
Sam Jones 5 b Hanley, Staffordshire
Sarah A Jones 3 b Hanley, Staffordshire
Nellie Jones 1 b Runcorn
Sam Lydiate    30  Boarder
Peter Cannon 14  Boarder

Hello and welcome to RootsChat

As Kay posted the marriage cert  would give father's name and occupation until that has been confirmed we are making guesses - however the 1901 census Kay posted looks worth further research.

I am taking a guess too with this information - it may be worth keeping for future research

There is a death reg FreeBMD
