GEORGE JONES of Farnham c1692-1766
« on: Monday 13 August 18 12:19 BST (UK) »
Hello

I'm still looking for the parents of GEORGE JONES, my 7 x ggf.

I have his marriage (to Damaris HART) and the births of his children, but despite years of searching, I still have no idea where he came from or who his ancestors were.

If anyone is able to shed any light on George, I would be very grateful :)

I note that the all of the children were baptised in Farnham. (Freereg spelt Joanes)
The 3 eldest were George, Charles & Alexander. Then Elizabeth 1721, Hester 1727, Anne 1729 & Jane 1732.

Other Jones to have children in same period, John, James & William

There are no apparent baptisms at Farnham for George, but the name Jones/Johns/ Joanes appears there earlier.

No births for George father Charles or Alexander in Great Britain.
No births for George in Surrey or Wales father George but a number elsewhere.

George Jones - father George (Freereg/Family Search)

1688 Greenwich, Kent – father a mariner mother Marie

1689 Clerkenwell, Middlesex – mother Mary

1689 Eastcheap, London

1691 Flixton, Lancashire

1691 Chatham, Kent – mother Prudence

Plus others elsewhere.

So could George be one of the above or did the record not survive?

Hi Colin

Many thanks for your reply and suggestions.

I have recently found a JONES family in Hurstbourne Tarrant, just across the border in Hampshire, with one or two possible candidates ... so I won't give up yet !
