Hello Dave,
I could send you a private message with my email address and then hopefully you could send the pics. I've been going through my stuff (technical term that) and found this email from Mary Huntingford - she is on roots chat and I did email her last week but not had a reply:
Owen Jones

Hi
I have just been 'browsing' and came across you - we have an Owen Jones born Denbigh c1806, moved to Thornham Norfolk, married Lydia Clark and had John, Richard Owen, Joseph, Robert Samuel (poss church mimister), Ebenezer Calvin, Alfred Isaac (poss blacksmith), Owen Henry (Engineer and my great grandfather) and possibly Christine who died in childbirth. The first 3 were born in Sedgeford and the others in Thornham - just a few miles down the road. The question is. . . . are we talking about the same Owen Jones? We went to Norwich to County Hall and there were very few Joneses there at that time and only 2 Owens and only 1 marrying a Lydia which crops up a lot in the family.
The 'son' Owen then had 11 children, 10 girls and 1 boy - Owen Henry, his 'next in line' sister was my Granny.
What do you think? is it the same Owen? If so it would be great to swap information

Hi Katy
well you've got much more than us!! We have Owen married Lydia Clark (parents John & Ann Clark of Lynn - Kings Lynn) on 31.1.1831. census forms for 1841 1851 1861(Alfred & Robert only) 1881, 1891 and 1901.
Then from Mum and Baptism records we have their children John bap 1834 Sedgeford,
Richard Owen b 31.5.1835 bap June 1835,
then Richard Owen again along with Joseph William bap July 8th 1838 (no record of a Richard dying and census has Richard as 3 yrs older than Joseph!! obviously done to confuse us!) both born in Sedgeford and Mum thinks Richard may have been a watchmaker,
then Robert Samuel bap 7.4.1840 Mum thinks poss church minister born Thornham,
Ebenezer Calvin bap 14.1.1844 Thornham,
Alfred Isaac 25.1.1846 Thornham Mum thought poss a blacksmith and maybe married Ann Mason (he & Robert were lodging with Mason family in 1861,
Owen Henry bap 9.1.1848 Thornham married Margaret Eastop from Glasgow (died Birmingham c1934, Margaret died 1928/9 in Belvedere) and Mum thought there was a girl Christine who died in infancy - we could find no record of this.
I 'come from' Owen Henry, they had 10 girls and 1 boy –
their 6th child was Elizabeth Jane born 25.11.1881 at 11 Edith Street Haggerston, Married Frederick Thomas Burr on 2.3.1902,
had 5 children Mum being the youngest, and died on 15.10.1972.
Owen & Margaret had:- Margaret 1871 m Harry Burr (Grannys bro in law) 8 children Harry Alec Maggie & ??
Amelia 1873 m Walter Griffin 1 child Walter
Lydia Jean 1875 m Alec Kelly had Lyddie, Maggie, Alec & Bill
Harriet A 1878 m Ted Brockman had Will, Maggie, Dolly (Edith), Robbie & Charley
Owen Henry 1880 m Ethel Blainey adopted 3 then had 2 of their own
Elizabeth Jane (Granny) 1881 m Fred Burr had Frederick, Elizabeth Rose (Rosie), Victor,
Lyddie and Freda (Mum)
Alice Louise 1885 at Chiswick m George Coates had 5 Margaret, George ? ? ? Alice was booked to go on the Titanic but missed it - Luckily!!
Edith 1887 Silvertown Essex m Frank Smith had Doris & Joan (I don't envy them looking for Smiths and Jones!!)
Grace Joan 1890 m Alan Partridge had 1 stepson
Gertrude 14.11.1893 Erith m Gilbert Ashbee in 1914 had Tommy (15.3.14),
Winnie (11.1.16) and
Margaret (19.5.33) who died at 13.
It is Winnie's son we are in contact with and
Ethel Oct 1897 Erith m Jim Tappin had David.
Someone had a Grace as Mum used to work with Auntie Gracie and cousin Gracie in the Holloway Pleating Company in Holloway Road London.
The first 6 of Owen & Margarets children were born at Haggerston.
Mum also thought that 1 of the 7 Jones Brothers (O & L's) was the Jones ot Jones and Dunn Hatmakers - not unreasonable as Lydia was a bonnet maker (or is that clutching at straws!!)
Oh how I wish I'd payed more attention to Mum and Granny's 'ramblings' when they knew what they were talking about - Granny would have known exactly who did what, where and when. Still we're getting there and with your bits, Maurice's bits and our bits we are at least 'getting the picture'.
Don't think it helps your personal search but hopefully will fill in some gaps, as yours has done for us. As you've been to Kew do you live near there? We do.
Chat later
Mary
