Title: Jones (sorry) in 1901
Post by: Welsh Girl on Sunday 04 March 12 21:40 GMT (UK)

There can't be THAT many ways to spell JONES - can there ??

I am having a headache trying to find a WHOLE family .......  ???

On the 1891 census, they are shown as:

JONES, William Vincent (1852) b: Llanelly, Carm
JONES, Lucy (1851) Neath
JONES, Catherine Ann (1878) Neath
JONES, Edward Raspison (!!!) (1883) Neath
JONES, David Vincent (1885), Neath
JONES, Vincent Henry (1887) Neath
JONES, John Rees (1889) Neath
Jones, William Denzil (1891) Neath
REES, Denzil Onslow Brother in Law, (1848) Neath

They are living at 87 Windsor Road, Neath - they aren't at thisd address in 1901 though (I checked) .....

HELP ???

Thank you :)

Looks like Edward Raspison went to Kansas City, USA before 1901 census.

Modified - other family members went to USA too, including William Vincent, Lucy, Vincent, David, and William Denzil so that is why they are not on 1901 UK Census.

Oooh thank you !!

So, it looks as though John Rees Jones married (shown as a Widower) ... and I am guessing that's his Son ....

What does the NA 1919 mean please - do you know?

Nationalised.

You could pop over to the USA Board to learn more, they are so helpful there....

I have found it so much easier to find Welsh people in the USA......sooooo many Jones, Evans and Davies's in Wales ;D

The USA board have given me so much help in the past, as they are aware of the other records that we are not.

Best of luck.
