Hello, I have a William George Stanley Jones b1900 who lived in the Redcliffe area of Bristol.
All his siblings check out, so am pretty confdent his parents were William Henry Jones b1874 and Rosina Reed b1876.
There is a Benjamin Jones b1840 married to a Rosina ? who might be Williams parents.
I can find Benjamin Jones and Rosina ? on the 1900, 1890, 1880, and 1870 But then I loose track.
Any help would be most welcome

Have you got the marriage cert for William to Rosina to confirm his parents.

Have you found him on 1911, 1901 etc

I'm afraid I have no certs, because I cant afford to pay for them unless it's essential or I'm pretty sure it's the correct one I'm asking for.
Sorry.
I don't have access to the 1911 census, only wish I did
Thanks

duplicated :) but may be worth noting W H Jones was a Ferryman/barge .... sometimes this runs in family

Steven

Steven Report 4 Sep 2010 13:47

Thanks for that.

William G S Jones was "MY" grandfather, and it has recently come to light that my wife has distant relations called Jones that came from the same area.
Haeve not found a link yet but that might be because I have not got back far enough.

Curious that your William Henry would have both wife and mother named Rosina. Not a common name!

Given the age of children in 1891 then this might be the parents marriage

But you would still need the marriage cert of William to Rosina to prove any of this information posted on the thread
