Perhaps the initial "W" was for Walter...and he preferred the name Walter rather than John??

If you are unsure if he married Jane Johnstone, it might be best to purchase the MC to confirm that it is the correct Daniel. The name of his father, and possibly the names of the witnesses, will tally with the names you know.

Once confirmed, look for births of any children using Jane's maiden name.
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl is an easy site to use.

Check to see if his Estate went to probate on https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills
If Jane predeceased him, the Will may name his children if they were heirs.

See if anyone else has this family on GR by using the search all member trees under the search button at the top of this page. Send a message to anyone who has them listed.

Yvonne........how can you be certain that you have the correct marriage?

Some feedback from xtootsy16x would be good.

'A' Daniel Jeffries did marry a Jane Johnstone.

Unfortunately it looks as if his full name might be Walter Daniel Jeffries. If that was the case, then there are other possible marriages.

Similarly, if he did marry under his second Christian name, there are other options available.

This is one instance where the poster may need to purchase some Certs to either confirm or disprove some of the suggestions.

Sorry late in replying due to xmas time , but John James Walter Jeffries also went by the name Walter as on 1911 census,it confuses a few things as he also had a brother called Walter, Im sure its Daniel Walter Jeffries, and Miriam is his sister.I have a photo of Miriam. Needed to know if the 3 children of JJWJeffries, married .I couldn't find anything on BMD site, but most of the above does look correct.Many thanks and Happy New Year to you all

Hi xtootsy16x

What leads you to believe that Walter Daniel Jeffries married a Johnston.

There is a marriage for a Daniel Jeffries to a Johnston in 1930........but did you notice the Jeffries/Hulican marriage I posted which took place in 1931?

Two children were born to the marriage...

A son Walter D and a daughter Miriam......(Coincidence?)

Hi Pricklyholly, yes I did see what you added,but I put Daniel married Jane not Walter, I will probably get MC, also yes a coincident about children..also confusing, thanks for your help :-D I wanted to know if any surviving children anywhere as we all share G G Grandparents, Matilda Price and Thomas Jeffries... As for Miriam Jeffries marrying a Mr King.. I found one son Brian, but cant find on electoral role :-(
