1891 Census - Jones Ferndale
« on: Sunday 16 January 05 13:34 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any info on GG Grandparents Thomas and Margaret Jones (nee Davies). They possibly originally came from Denbigh. I've no idea of ages though.

They were in Ferndale in the Rhondda, Glamorgan in the 1880's/90's. They had a daughter called Ellen in 1887 born in Ferndale. I believe they also had about another 12 children (no tv in those days!) Sarah and possibly Jarret amongst them.

Anything gratefully received.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I had a quick browse through the 1891 census for Ferndale.

If this is not your family, let me know & I will have another look.
Although I don't have an index to search, I have been looking manually.

Sarah could be the 'S M JONES'.
Ellen's age matches 'E JONES' 3 yr old.
Jarret ? could be James or Jane ? - or maybe one of the other 3 children not listed. Only 10 children present on 1891 census.

You are a star, I think that matches up with what I know. I believe Jarret was one of the oldest children so it would be feasible that he'd left home by then.

Can't thank you enough.

Many thanks
