Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 109 Send Message	Digging through old l papers I have found Ann's obituary in 1931. Shows that she had nine grown up children to mourn her. Thomas in Australia, Griffith away at sea.her daughters Laura, Annie, Nellie, Jane, Hannah, Maggie(in California ) and Lizzie. She was still living at 6 Chapel Terrace, Criccieth.

Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 1 288 Send Message	Hi, can you tell us which records you think are right please? Patchem and MaureeninNY have Robert's family in 1881,1891,1901 which certainly look like the right family don't you think? I have put the 1851, 1861 and 1871 together now which hopefully will be less confusing? I think it could possibly be Robert .....there are a few names the same Laura, Thomas and Griffith but it's very difficult with the surname Jones..... I've got a few in my family, they're a nightmare to find! Kind regards, Cathy

	If we put together the children from 1881, 1891 and 1901 that we might have found, and ignoring the claim that he was a labourer in 1901, we get: 1881 JONES, Laura Daughter Single F 6 1875 JONES, Thomas Son Single M 4 1877 JONES, Ellin Daughter Single F 2 1879 1891 Ellen Jones 12 1879 Ann Hughes Jones 10 1881 Jane Hughes Jones 8 1883 Hannah Jones 6 1885 Griffith Jones 4 1887 Margaret Jones 4 1887 Elizabeth Jones 2 1889 1901 Hannah Jones 16 1885 Griffith Jones 14 1887 Maggie Jones 14 1887 Lizzie Jones 11 1890 Which gives us 9 children, and some could have been born and died between censuses and so not show up.

	If you get the birth certificate of one of the children, it will have the Mother's maiden name.

	The 1911 census says they have been married 39 years, i.e. 1871/2, and 12 children born, 9 living. This Robert Jones is a general labourer, not a sailor. have I picked the wrong one: 1901 Wales Census Robert Jones Age in 1901: 52 Estimated birth year: abt 1849 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Anne Jones Gender: Male Where born: Criccieth, Caernarvonshire, Wales Civil Parish: Criccieth Ecclesiastical parish: Criccieth County/Island: Caernarvonshire Country: Wales Registration district: Pwllhelli Sub-registration district: Criccieth ED, institution, or vessel: 2 Household schedule number: 182 Robert Jones 52 Anne Jones 51 Hannah Jones 16 Griffith Jones 14 Maggie Jones 14 Lizzie Jones 11 Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 5263; Folio: 18; Page: 27.

	Just for background, ancestry has her married to the next door neighbour, so I have deleted incorrect informatiom, leaving: 1891 Wales Census Ann Jones Age: 41 Estimated birth year: abt 1850 Relation: Wife Gender: Female Where born: Penmorfa, Caernarvonshire, Wales Civil Parish: Criccieth Ecclesiastical parish: Criccieth Town: Criccieth County/Island: Caernarvonshire Country: Wales Registration district: Pwllheli Sub-registration district: Criccieth ED, institution, or vessel: 2 Ellen Jones 12 Ann Hughes Jones 10 Jane Hughes Jones 8 Hannah Jones 6 Griffith Jones 4 Margaret Jones 4 Elizabeth Jones 2 Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 4650; Folio 18; Page 3; GSU roll: 6099760. Possibly Ann and Ellen were from an earlier relationship?

	Were they all at sea in 1881? Depends on type of sailor if wife and family with them, and may be registered in different area of the country.

Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 109 Send Message	Trying to find Anne Jones wife of Robert Jones. Anne is shown on 1911 cenus as born Penmorfa Carnarvon aged 61, so I have used het year of birth as 1850 (+/- 1) Robert Jones is shown as born in Criccieth aged 62, used 1849 (+/-1) as his birth year. I had no problem finding them in 1901 and 1891 census, exept that Robert Jones is not on the 1891 census but since he was a sailor, I assume that he was at sea. Further back and I have drawn a blank. I have even tried with their daughter Ellen aged 12 in 1891 used birth year 1879 (+/-1) for her birth year. What am I doing wrong
