Looking for 1901 Wales Census - Jones

[designhall1]

Yes exactly. I think we might have got it this time. Doesn't help with Jonathan's wife Mary and her family details.

[designhall1]

Added these details and another son popped up, David 1897 and a marriage date of 1888. Starting to make sense now. Will see where it takes me.

Made some good progress today on the Jones' Have got to Thomas Jones 1801-1875. Cant find his parents but he married Sarah Frost 1803-1877

[designhall1]

Ok marriage certificate has arrived. Married 10 Jan 1918. Jonathan's father was John Evan Jones. Says John Evan deceased so he would have died between 1911 and 1918. No mother on the form however the 1911 census has Ann on there that matches up. Where was that "joiner" fact you mentioned as occupation for Jonathan? Can you send me the link. Jonathan's wife was Mary Jane Griffiths. Father William Henry. No mother on form but witness was a C Griffiths so this might be her. Scraps to go on  but it might be enough to get somewhere.

Iv'e got the "Joiner" fact, sorry. Was on that 1939 register.....

Please could you give other useful info from the marriage certificate. Ages of bride and groom and their addresses. Names of the witnesses. No reason to think that the mother would be a witness, more likely a sibling.

Possible for Mary Jane from 1901

Yes it was. From the other post you have:

That is great. Ancestry has just added today the 1939 Register to their databases. Previously it was only available via subs on Findmypast.

See https://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=61596

Maurice shows as Maurice H Herbert in 1939, living in Cambridge. The entry following this I think might be Iris but it is blanked out. Have a read through the details of the register to understand better why some entries show as redacted (including the 100yr rule if it not confirmed that the person has died).

What made me happy was that I think we do have the correct Jonathan and Mary Jane as her parents. You will confirm at least father's name from the marriage cert you are waiting for. I can see a Jonathan and Mary J Jones in Willesden. This is where Iris married Maurice in 1939. Jonathan's occupation is that of a Joiner and his birth date is in 1888 which is what we saw in the censuses we have so far for him with his family. Let's also see if we have an address match from the marriage cert and the 1939 register.
