I know the perfect answer to that one.


what e ver

I was going to say thank you again, however, it would appear that because I have been at work since midday today and have only just got back in from work, I have been ignoring you all!

If I can get hold of more information, I will look at it myself over the coming weeks so as not to bother wasting anyones time.

I really thought this was supposed to be helpful and friendly and as a novice, it seems I fell for that.

I will say thank you for what you have found out, even though I did not give as much information at first, thank you for your time looking and rest assured, you wont be wasting any more time.

Sorry

Paul

What was confusing..............Paul has the names on a post on here..& yes i did a tree search but i can't remember the dates though.

The other person that has a tree on here also has one on Ancestry....but have fun looking at that one as theres over 28 thousand names

that was confusing Julie ........ you did a tree search ?

I see now that Paul has

Edith Jones 1921 Custom House, Newham...

but finding the others would be torture ... can you tell us the names and dates ?

seeing as Paul isn't going to tell us anything it seems and some of us are feeling rather dogged about this :-)

Between the names you & A have on this site i can't find 1 of their births registered for the dates that you have them down as

So i am wonder where have yous their birth dates from

thanks alviegal !

looks like

... so probably rule out that Ellen F Jones born 1911

Here it is Chrissiex.

Births Mar 1925

the Ellen Jones in that list was born before the 1911 census

JONES ELLEN 1911 3 MONTHS West Ham Essex

there are far too many people with the name Ellen Jones living in West Ham in 1911 for me to sort out who is living with that one ... could someone with access post the household ?


I still wonder about Edith M Jury/Jury born in Devon ... which is where Constance H Jury died ... but there are no other births in Devon with mother Jury to match the siblings' names stated ...

oops, the brain boggled there, Mr Bowers and Ms Jones indeed :-)

so there is no marriage to account for Jones Bowers births

possibly Ms Bowers had been married before and married Jones under her first married name

if only she had married a Mr Wolfowitz the second time and not a Jones !

we can only hope that Paul has or will get his grandmother Edith's marriage certificate to get at least her father's name

that is the first link in the chain that we all have to start with if the details of parents are not known ( known in the sense of personal living memory or documentation, not rumoured memory or surmise ) ... the known person's first known registered event, often their marriage, for the father's name

and hope it is true !

actually, I've just noticed that GR has done one of its weird postings in that list of registrations


The post currently reads

Births Dec 1917 (>99%)

Jones Arthur Bowers W. Ham 4a 304 99%)

Jones Henry A Bowers W. Ham 4a 395


Births Jun 1922 (>99%)

Jones Edith M Bowers W.Ham 4a 415



It should read:-

Births Dec 1917 (>99%)

Jones Arthur Bowers W. Ham 4a 304
Jones Margaret Bowers W.Ham 4a 301


Births Dec 1920 (>99%)

Jones Henry A Bowers W. Ham 4a 395


Births Jun 1922 (>99%)

Jones Edith M Bowers W.Ham 4a 415



In that previous paost I had marked this birth with a query,

Births Dec 1917 (>99%)

Jones Arthur Bowers W. Ham 4a 304


wondering if he was somehow connected.


and I KNOW that one should not do that!





sylvia

but that is the wrong way round, chrissie!



the registration I found was for a Jones mmn Bowers.


The only one I found that way round was in 1890 ..........much too early for children being born 1911 to 1925


but those are the children that seem to have the names Paul mentioned as siblings




sylvia

this is the best match for a possible Jones Bowers marriage

Marriages Mar 1909
BOWERS Frederick W. Ham 4a 312
JONES Bessie West Ham 4a 312

it looks like we had deduced, probably Constance Jury is the person and she did not marry anyone at all

I think Edith M Jury mother Jury is the likely candidate ... although that collection of Jones Bowers births does look interesting ...

confirmation of the mother's name from the birth certificate is essential

also Paul if you have the marriage certificate to Butler then why not tell us whether it names her father, if you don't have it you need to get that too

if she married as Jones she probably named her father

so those two certificates are the essential starting points

I don't see a death for Edith, do you have that information ?

at this point I don't even know where the name Constance Jury came from ...

Peter

Do you have her birth certificate?


That will tell you her mother's name


As far as freebmd is concerned I can see only one Edith M Jones born and registered in West Ham ......... and that was in the June quarter 1822

I think you have to start buying some certificates!



but also make sure that what you ask us to find for you has a solid basis in fact, rather than speculation!


chrissie and I spent a lot of time last night trying to sort out Ellen Jury, without the important information that you posted today!





sylvia

Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1922

???


if that is her birth then you need to start with her birth certificate to get her mother's name, there is not much point in guesswork

probably her father's name will not be on the certificate

I have not had much luck finding births for the siblings

I am lost

which of these is your grandmother ? ( you did not say where born )

Hi

My grandmother is Edith Maud Butler (nee Jones). She was born on 14/06/1921.

She married my grandfather Daniel William Francis Butler in Oct/Nov/Dec in 1940, in the district of West Ham.

She said her mothers name was Helen, although she is a bit unclear as to the surname, as (in her words) "She was a bit of a girl".

Her brothers were: Peter Jones, Charley Jones and sisters Ellen Francis, Margaret and Nelly.

This is why I am finding it so hard to trace further back.

Paul

are you tracing through one of these children ?


Births Sep 1911
JONES Edna M Jury Wandsworth 1d 1274
Jones Reggie H Jury Wandsworth 1d 1274

* Births Mar 1912
Jones Charles E Jury W.Ham 4a 500

* Births Dec 1913
Jones William A Jury W.ham 4a 525

Births Dec 1914
JONES Winifred R Jury Wandsworth 1d 1129


the Wandsworth births likely belong to

Marriages Sep 1908
- JONES Albert Edward Wandsworth 1d 1211
- JURY Alice Ellen Wandsworth 1d 1211
WEBB Eliza Wandsworth 1d 1211
WHISKER Herbert Henry Wandsworth 1d 1211

the West Ham births and Wandsworth births would probably be mutually exclusive ... mid to late 1911 and early 1912 ...

I don't see a marriage to account for the West Ham births

Name: Constance H Jury
Birth Date: abt 1884
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1954
Age at Death: 70
Registration district: Devon Central
Inferred County: Devon
Volume: 7b
Page: 284

so it looks as if they partnered but did not marry ?

and this ties the Jury children back to the Sharpes

1891 Census

Name: Couslance H Gury
[Constance H. Jury]
[Couslance H Jury]
Age: 7

Thomas Sharp 77
Sarah Ann Sharp 55
Cacilah Gury 9
Couslance H Gury 7

but that same tree also says Constance died unmarried in Devon
