Marriage of Richard S Jones to Margaret Unknown perhaps around 1850
« on: Monday 02 September 13 13:21 BST (UK) »
Hi
Here's hoping someone may be able to assist. I am looking for the parents of Richard Hugh Jones.

Richard Hugh Jones died in Australia 18 May 1893; he was about 47 years of age.  Based on a few birth transcripts for his children and his marriage certificate I have been able to piece together the following information:
Possibly born 08 Mar 1846 [a birthday book noted this date]
Born in Drumkilbo, Forfarshire, Scotland[extracted from 3 birth certificates]
He married Alice Maud Bowen Sanderson in 1877 in country New South Wales, Australia
His occupation was sheep overseer

I located a Richard S Jones, Annuitant in  Newton of Panbride Angus in the 1851 census.  There was a Richard H Jones aged 4 years and his sister Margaret and brother Hugh W.

My ancestor Richard Hugh called one of his sons  William  Hugh so there may be a connection there.  In this census the father Richard S Jones gives his birth about 1824 England; Richard S wife was Margaret aged about 1826 born in Kettins, Forfarshire.

However I think to progress this I need to find a marriage record/parish record that may indicate Richard S parents and location other than England .

Hoping someone will be able to assist me with this marriage - it may well be the census record I located has no relationship whatsoever and only time will tell.

Kind regards

Not sure if you have located Richard and his siblings in future census but if not could be interesting to look into entries for:

1861
Richard and Hugh, scholars at a school at Woodvillas, Peebles
Ann and Mary, boarding with the Watson family, Keillor Farm House, Kettins
and not sure but Margaret could be at Sydenham College for Ladies, Lewisham

1871
Margaret, Ann and Mary living with their Aunts, the Watsons, York Place, Edinburgh

The recurrence of the name 'Hugh' is likely for Margaret's father, Hugh Watson ...
Dundee Courier 23 June 1846
'Married at Keillor ... by the Very Rev Dean Horsley ... Richard J Jones Esq, Drumkilbo to Margaret, eldest daughter of Hugh Watson Esq, Keillor 

Looks as if Margaret died in May 1854
'At Keillor, on the 18th instant, Mrs RJ Jones, eldest daughter of Hugh Watson Esq'
http://www.happyhaggis.co.uk/1854.htm

45 page will for Hugh Watson (who died in 1865) via SP ... might be worth reading!  Ref: SC49/31/81
