I am trying to find the maiden name of my great grandmother but keep hitting wall's,she is recorded on the 1911 census as Lina or Lena Jones giving her birth as 1861 at Maidstone,Kent and on the 1901 census as betsy Jones birth 1859 Heathfield,Sussex, and I did think at one point that perhaps they had been different people,she can not be found on the 1891 or 1881 censuses as Jones that is if she is married! at this point,the first child that I have for her is 1880,Betsy/Lena was married! to Obed/Obee Jones,no marraige as been found nor any birth registration's ,I have searched with other varients of the first and surname's, if they are not a couple by the 1881 census to which Obed is not recorded as single or even on it neither the 1891 unless they have adopted another surname which was sometimes the case with Romany/Gyspy folk so I wonder if I am on a lost cause or looking to hard,I have looked at other surname's of the people that they had been living with but still nothing, any idea's family researcher's
