Need help finding a birth
« on: Tuesday 23 July 13 00:59 BST (UK) »
I've been trying to find the birth record for my great grandmother Catherine jones all I know  is the following :

Catherine jones born on 26th September 1890 in Liverpool

Married in 1912 to Richard childs but as written on there marriage certificate she gives her full ame to be catharine Reynolds jones but on her death record her daughter says her name was Catherine jones and gives her full birth xx

Her father was Edward jones who was a labourer at the time off marriage in Madeley (Catherine's family ain't from Madeley as she was born in Liverpool) please help me xx

From freedom there is a
CATHARINE  MARGARET JONES Q4/1890 8a/492 Birkenhead

but obviously it doesn't match the middle name shown on her marriage certificate, which you have?

In 1901 in West Derby Liverpool there is this family with Catherine listed as Step daughter of Edward Jones saddler of Denbighshire North Wales.  I wonder if Catherine later took her stepfather's surname?

Edward Jones    63 b Denbighshire
Eliza Jones    32 b Shropshire
Catherine Reynolds    9 b Liverpool

Good find - we still have thunder.  Eliza's father is listed as James Reynolds Farm Bailiff with witnesses James and Emma Reynolds

Eliza is later listed as born Easthope Shropshire so I wonder if this is her with her family in 1881, living at  Hazlar, Church Stretton?

REYNOLDS James 40 Gamekeeper b Monk Hopton, Shropshire       
REYNOLDS Ann 47    Gamekeeper Wife b Kinver, Staffordshire       
REYNOLDS Thomas 13 Gamekeeper Assistant b Much Wenlock, Shropshire    
REYNOLDS, Eliza 12 b Easthope, Shropshire       
REYNOLDS Emma 9    b Easthope, Shropshire       
REYNOLDS, James 7 Church Stretton, Shropshire    
REYNOLDS William    Visitor    Married   32    Gamekeeper b Monk Hopton, Shropshire

Kay ... that's a nice fit with names Eliza, James and Emma. 
What about C1891 piece 2090 folio 59 page 2   
James Reynolds aged 50
Anne (wife) 57
Mary Anne 35
Eliza 22
James 17
Thomas Reynolds (grandson) aged 2

However if Eliza's daughter Catherine was born in 1890, where is she?
