Can anyone help please. Marriage date and place of Abraham Jones to Sarah ??. First child Jane was born abt 1859 Dawley Shropshire. Abraham born abt 1834/5 Wellington. Sarah abt 1838 Lightmoor.
Further children Joseph 1864; John 1866 both born Dawley. Thomas Wm 1869; Emma 1872; Abraham 1874; Fanny 1878 born Wolstanton/Chell, Staffordshire. Hope someone can help, am slowly
going 'batty' with the Jones, Smith and Davies tribes. Many thanks.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
Could it be this one?
Marriages December qtr 1859
Abraham Jones Shiffnal 6a 1191
Sarah Griffiths on same page
www.freebmd.org.uk
To be certain - buying a copy of one of their childrens birth certs will confirm Sarah's maiden name
-
The children born Dawley will have their births registered in the Madeley reg dist.
-
This looks a good choice for a birth certificate
Births Dec 1/4 1873
Abraham Jones Wolstanton vol 6b page 115

Throwing a spoke in the works, there is this on same page FreeBMD I know it is a few years after the first children are born but..... I think you need the birth cert as CaroleW suggested :)
Marriages Jun 1865
Abraham Jones
Sarah Lees
Wolstanton vol 6b page 180

There are good matches for births with mother maiden name Griffiths on http://www.staffordshirebmd.org.uk/cgi/birthind.cgi?county=staffordshire

Hi Everyone - Thanks to you all for searching records and have checked them all to see if they fit in
with bits and pieces I had and they do, so hopefully can make a bit more progress. Having my mum as
a Smith and gran as Jones and my other nan as a Davies has been quite a challenge. I was doing ok
whilst family remained in the Staffordshire and Derbyshire areas but some originate from Montgomeryshire and others Yorkshire, so struggling a bit. Thanks again to everyone for helping with
Abraham's marriage. :)
