I've done a lot of slogging away on this, and think I have been able to traces Edward and Jane Jones both backwards and forwards. I don't want to think how many Jones families I looked at in the process. If anyone could cast their eyes over this and point out any flaws or corroboration, I'd be extremely grateful. I guess the weakest link is between the 1861 and 1871 Edward Joneses, but I can't see a better candiadate in 1861. I think that Baschurch and Ruyton XI towns are very close together - is this correct?
Thanks for looking.
