I am looking for information about John Jones of Dublin & Co. Kildare. He was born about 1740 to 1750. His daughter Lydia (1785-1854) married Eugene Sweny of Dublin in 1809. They were my 3 x gr. grandparents. The only records we have are references on two Sweny pedigrees.
The one from the London Genealogical Society has more detail, and states that Eugene Sweny of Camden St. mar. Lydia, dau of John Jones of Jervais St. Dublin & Oldtown, Co. Kildare, in Sept. 1809. (John’s wife may have been Lydia or Sarah; these names occur several times in related familes.)
Eugene and Lydia Sweny had daughters Lydia and Sarah. Their cousin was a Lydia Sarah Jones 1810-1880, who married Michael Cooke (no relation to me, so far) in 1843. Lydia Sarah could have been a grand-daughter of John Jones of Kildare/Dublin. Michael’s daughter, Mary Cooke, 1845-1924, is buried at Mt. Jerome with her ‘cousins’ Lydia (Sweny) Mosley and Sarah Sweny.
Michael & Lydia Cooke had three daughters- Sarah Alice, who married twice, to Lewis Rawson of Baltinglass, Wicklow in 1870, then in 1886 to Fredk. Fawcett Margaret 1844, mar. William Ashley, dau Lydia
Mary 1845-1924, not mar. bur. St. Jerome in a Sweny grave.
(I see that there were Jones’ at Baltinglass, but it is not an uncommon name.)
Perhaps someone recognises one or more of the people mentioned and could shed more light on the Jones family.
