William Jones born 1854 Brynhyfryd, Glamorganshire
« on: Friday 20 April 18 17:10 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am trying to find the correct marriage for William Jones and Mary Ann Powell - there are 2 possibilities that I have found which are Mar Qtr 1876 and Jun Qtr 1880 both in Swansea.  On the 1881 census William is shown as a coal miner - which together with a surname of Jones in Wales makes it a very difficult task!

Their children (that I am aware of) are:-

William John - born 1879
Thomas - born 1881
George - born 1884
Annie - born 1887
Rachel - born 1889
Louisa - born 1892
Sidney - born 1894

You can see my dilemma as William was born before the date of the first option!

Any help gratefully received.

Many thanks

Wow, that was quick Kay!

Do you have any information regarding the marriage in 1876?

It would be lovely to find that this marriage was a William Jones with a different occupation.

Many thanks for your help

The 1880 marriage is on F M P but I can't see the 1876 marriage on the site at the moment :-\
