Yes, just looked again at 1911 and edited it with Rachel's place of birth given there which is different to the other census.

Dea Report 3 Aug 2012 19:42

I am also getting tired now but would she have been a Jones at birth ???

I was looking towards her possibly being a 'Davies/Davis ' ??

Stupid me! Yes of course - should concentrate instead of being distracted by the Olympics!! Vivien needs to get one of those birth certs then we'll be absolutely certain.

Will have another scout round the censuses for suspects :-)

There's a possible marriage surname Lewis too which is tempting as it's Edward's middle name. Can't find a Rachel Lewis born in the right place though. Looks like Edward's birth cert is definitely required.

WOW!!!!

You have found out so much, I'm sure I'm stupid.

I have a death cert for Elizabeth Jones died 9.5.1902 age 67 wife of David Jones
1 Pant Rd Dowlais.
I also have Death Cert for my Grandad, David Jones who died in 1926 age 67. of 2 Market St. Dowlais. Witness Daniel Evans Step-son-inLaw.
I have register of burials for Elizabeth Jones-wife of David Jones 67-1 Pant Road Dowlais. Burial 13.5.1902. Also one for David Jones. I do not know of any children with Elizabeth though.
I know very little about Edward only that he emigrated to 2108 North Kenneth Avenue, Chicago. in 1880

Vivien,

You say:

"I have a death cert for Elizabeth Jones died 9.5.1902 age 67 wife of David Jones
1 Pant Rd Dowlais."

Was she really aged 67 in 1902 ?? - that would make her approx 25 years older than David ?

Can you let us have ALL the details from David's marriage cert please?

Janice Report 5 Aug 2012 15:12

Are these death certs that have been passed down the family, or ones you have bought yourself?

Dea

Dea Report 5 Aug 2012 17:39

Good question Janice - let's hope that Vivien comes back with an answer soon !!

1 Pant Road in the 1901 census seems to be the Prince Llewellyn pub run by William and Margaret James.

Vivien - if you could let us have the details from David's marriage cert we could probably find him for you..................

We really do need them if we are to continue.
