Hello Everyone, a while back i made a post for a search for the family of my 3x Great Grandmother Mary Ann Jones born 1837 in Llangattock Lingoed
She married John Herbert Jenkins in Llanfihangel Crucorney on Jul 24 1870 witnessed by Onesiphorius Jenkins and Eliza jones,
1871 John & Mary Ann were Lodging at the Bridge Inn in Pontnewydd, Cwmbran with Mary Ann’s Brother Thomas born 1859
However today a new ark of this puzzle has been found, on the orbituary for Kate Maria Taylor Nee Jenkins (Daughter of Mary Ann & John H Jenkins) it states she had Cousins “Eva And Tom” and “Herbert & Floss” attend her funeral, now this puzzled me, so i created a separate tree for the cousins to attempt a search
I found that “Eva” was Eveline Annie Morgan 1893-1959 married William Thomas Stephens in 1919, both resided in Ponthir, quick search of Eva’s Birth Reg gave Mmn “Jones” coincidentally the same surname as Mary Ann “Jones” giving me the impression that, Eva’s Parents Catherine & Thomas Morgan, Catherine mn Jones was possibly a sister to Mary Ann or her first cousin?
Following another search i found Thomas Herbert Morgan who married Florence May Thompson, being the others listed, it appears in 1901, Thomas Herbert is given as the Step-son of Thomas Morgan, and provided the surname Williams (later changed to Morgan) so using the 1939 england and wales register dob, i bought his birth reg, and turns out his mother is given as “Gertrude Williams” a Domestic Housemaid, who’s actually living with Catherine “Kate” and Tom Morgan in 1901 and working for them! Quick search of Gertrude E Williams shows she was born 1870 in Abergavenny, still this doesn’t really add up?
I’m super curious on how Catherine Jones and Her Daughter Eveline link into Eveline being Kate Maria Taylor’s cousin, and how Eliza jones witnessed the marriage of John and Mary Ann, and Thomas (Brother of Mary Ann) was lodging with them in 1871, hopefully someone can fix this puzzle up!!
