Dawley family search

[homeguard]

Hi, not been on the forum for a while but hope someone will be kind enough to help. I am searching for the family of Edith Annice Jones born 3/11/1904, I have found her on 1911 census at Dawley but not with her parents, I know there is not much to work with but any help would be great.

MMN = Franks.

In 1921 she is listed as "adopted daughter" in the household of John Kent (born 1871). He and his wife are also on the 1911 census with Edith (listed as "Niece").

If you purchase her GRO digital image pdf it will give you the parents names and details.

Possible marriage for parents? Maybe... 

Marriages Dec 1898 
Jones    James        Wellington, Sh.    6a   1500

Possible spouse is Annie Franks.

Thanks very kind to reply, interesting the adopted aspect, as per usual more questions to ask !  Many thanks.

There was another Jones/Franks marriage in Madeley in 1902 - Fred Jones & Mary Hannah Franks

GRO online shows a number of Jones/Franks births in Shropshire from 1900 so as Ashtone advised - the birthcert is needed

Thanks for your help I'll dig round and see what turns up.

Don't think it's Fred & Mary Hannah in Madeley - I've looked at 1911 and there are no children unaccounted for

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Similarly for James and Annie - they have two children in Shifnal and he's with his second wife in 1911, no children missing
