i have no details all i have is her death cert and normans death cert all of the children were born in oldham only thing i can think of is were they visiting someone at the time of the cencus

None of the John Jones (no initial or yob) resident in Oldham in 1911 (FMP) had a wife Mary E from Ireland. Think we may have to look at the Welsh areas - ugh!

Would the Oldham RC diocese be willing to undertake a search of the reigsters for a marriage? Do you have a baptism record for their son? Not having seen an RC one, does it give further details of the mother?

it has realy baffled me mum says her granddad was welsh though she cnnot remember him however she remembers mary she was irish and strict catholic

In that case, the 1911 we found could be wrong, even if the pob for John is correct.

If you are going from verbal memory for the children, it is possible that someone was estranged from the family, or died young and not talked about.

Perhaps someone has the time to go through all the John Jones/Mary Jones to see if they can come up with a better fit, even if the pob's aren't as you think they ought to be?

on count back mary was born 1876 in ireland cofused about may ?

there was no jack either

this is realy puzzleing it plainly says mary elizabeth on her death certificate not sure about the may name

Hi Martyn and DET
I have just found the same.
On lancs bmd there is only a MAY JONES b 1899 mmn Cropper and a NORMAN JONES b 1915 mmn Cropper.
Where are they on 1901.
Joan

Something is wrong with the above.
If they have been married for 13 years, May would have been 11! Either her age is down wrong ( the image says the same) or John has been married for a total of 13 years, and May is his 2nd wife.

Earlier, you said that John's wife was Mary E from Ireland. These details don't match up with what you 'know'.

This might be the 1911 which jansmith found

my granddad norman born aug 1915 he had brothers arthur who was older leonard who was older &sid who was younger he had 2 sisters nellie & rose who were older there were no other children

do you have names of any of the children born in Oldham please? Presumably you got Mary's maiden name from one of them.

There are a few John E Jones who married a Mary E in Oldham in the possible time scale and it would help to identify the right one in 1911/1901.
