Imaging having research in a country with a dodgy alphabet. Such as Russia, Japan or something like that!

Mainly southern England and west Wales - see list. Surprisingly although there are many Joneses, including the glorious Jones marriage certificate, where ALL including both bride and groom's side, minister, witnesses and even the Registrar were named Jones, my greaest problem has been finding the forebears of Jane Trow, b. 1836 in Berriew, montgomeryshire, father Joseph Trow.
ANY help appreciated. It's not only the Smith and Jones etc that can be difficult.

Paula,
The name William Williams is banned from RC - he causes me many a headache and sleepless night - my great grandfather William Williams is on the 1891 census in Durham - born WALES - talk about a needle in a haystack. Unfortunatly he dies in 1895 and I can't trace him any further back...
