Hi Olive.
Does the occupation for William match that posted on previous page, namely furnaceman? If so, that will be your family.
If any doubts, please provide all the info from the cert - such as addresses and names of witnesses.

Thankyou for your reply

This might be his medal card.

Can't find a service record yet, but so many of them were lost in WWII, and it is also such a common name:

Name: Mark Jones
Military Year: 1914-1920
Rank: Gunner
Medal Awarded: British War Medal and Victory Medal
Regiment or Corps: Royal Artillery (Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Field Artillery)
Regimental Number: 73445
Sub Unit: Royal Field Artillery
Previous Units: R.F.A. 73445. Gnr.

This looks like the birth for the Mark Jones that rootgather posted the 1901 census for, as Bulwell comes under Basford reg district.

Mark as a boarder in Bulwell, in census 1911?

Hi

On 1911Census Mark is living at 33Newmarket Road Bulwell Nottingham

On 1911Census Hilda Rawson is livingat 35 Newmarket Road Bulwell Nottingham

Thankyou again
Olive

Hi
I just wondered where you found the ww1 records for Mark Jones born Bulwell Nottingham 1893 Please
From Olive

I can't find his WWI service records either, sadly I think they are amongst the 70% destroyed in WWII.

I only found his medal card, which was on Ancestry.

I will pm you the scan of the card, but it shows very little.

His rank of Gunner, and the fact he is in the Royal Field Artillery tally with the information you report was provided on his marriage cert.

Hi
Thankyou for your reply

When I looked on Ancestry when I went to the local library I couldn't find any thing,even though it stated Mark Jones Bulwell?I will be pleased if you scan me his Medial Card Will you need my Email

I looked for 1891census for his family Thomas Jones and Hannah Jones but havnt found it Also 1911 Census

Thankyou again
Olive

Hi Olive,

I sent you the medal card via the Genes Reunited personal message system - I see you've opened the message, to access the image, jsut click on the green 'get attachments' at the bottom of my message in your inbox..

Not having much luck with the 1911 census myself for Thomas and Hannah.

You already know where Mark was, this seems to be his sisters Eliza (now married) and Harriett:

1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census

George Marlow Head Married Male 29 1882 Bulwell Nottingham Bleachers Labourer

Lenard Marlow Son - Male 0 1911 Bulwell Nottingham

Marriages Dec 1901
Jones Eliza Nottingham 7b 502 <<<<<<<<<<<<<
Marlow George Nottingham 7b 502 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
SHELTON Mary Ellen Nottingham 7b 502
SMITH Charles Nottingham 7b 502

Difficulty is that both Thomas Jones and Hannah Jones are very common names, so not always easy to identify the right couple.

Young Sarah A Jones from the 1901 is living with relatives back in Staffordshire in 1911:

1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census

9 Chapel Green Willenhall, Willenhall, Staffordshire, England

Clara Gimbeth Daughter - Female 7 1904 Willenhall School
Tharlote Gimbeth Daughter - Female 4 1907 Willenhall School
Florence Gimbeth Daughter - Female 2 1909 Willenhall Home
James Gimbeth Son - Male 0 1911 Willenhall Home
Sarah Ann Jones Niece - Female 14 1897 Bullbell Notongham At Home<<<<<<<<<<<

Births Sep 1897 Jones Sarah Ann Basford 7b 251

Edit - I think the 'Gimbeths' look more like Gilberts on the census image:

I'm suspecting something happened to either or both Thomas and Hannah, as I think this is their youngest child from census 1901, William, in 1911.

I suspect Hannah Hawley is his sister. We didn't see her in the 1901 census with the family, but she has been married 10 years in 1911. I suspect she is named for her mother, and again, there is the connection to Willenhall, Staff, in her birth:


1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription

I can't actually find a Hawley-Jones marriage though. :-(
