Hello,
Has anyone come across the first name LILLIAS in their research? I'm sure it can't be that common a name :-)
I am trying to find a marriage entry for the parents of:
SAMUEL JONES Christening: 27 MAR 1767 Lilleshall, Shropshire, England
Father: SAMUEL JONES Mother: LILLIAS C032722
I thought with a name like LILLIAS it might be easy - but so far I can't find any marriage entries for a Samuel and Lillias...all help GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Hi Fiona
Have you seen the name written in the records yourself or just a transcription? I wondered whether it could be Lillian which has been badly written.

Yes, it could well be Lillian.....but I still can't find a marriage entry :-(

Hi Fiona,
Thanks for the bit about my website - think that deserves a reward!! ;D ;D
Have you any idea where else besides Lilleshall they might have got married - or do I just look there for the marriage when I am at Shrewsbury!! ;D
Sign my guestbook and you might even be entitled to another lookup ;D ;D

Hi Fiona
Sorry, this doesn't help you find the marriage either but I've googled the name Lillias and found several women with the name. One of the name meaning sites says it's a Scottish form of Lillian.
Hope Keith can help you with the marriage.

Hi Fiona,
Have you seen this one??
LILLY LIAS JONES
Female
Event(s):
Birth:
Christening: 31 JUL 1796 Lilleshall, Shropshire, England
Parents:
Father: SAMUEL JONES Family
Mother: ELANOR
C032722
A slightly different spelling but "must " be the same family!!??
Cheers
Keith

Hmmm....interesting. No I hadn't noticed that entry. It seems there were a couple of siblings:
LILLY LIAS JONES - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 31 JUL 1796 Lilleshall, Shropshire, England
ELANOR JONES - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 13 JAN 1799 Lilleshall, Shropshire, England
SARAH JONES - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 29 MAR 1801 Lilleshall, Shropshire, England
I am going to add these to my family tree maker file - and one day a connection may well just appear :o
The spelling of Elanor is also interesting - that has also cropped up in with "my" Jones family and I thought it was perhaps a misspelling but now I'm not so sure. 8)

Hello Keith....an offer of a lookup.......for that I will make entries in your guest book every day ;D
For the marriage - I do think it will have been at Lilleshall as that was where Samuel was christened......but I don't know if he had and older siblings so the date for the marriage could be any time before 1767.
SAMUEL JONES Male
Christening: 27 MAR 1767 Lilleshall, Shropshire, England
Father: SAMUEL JONES Mother: LILLIAS
C032722
Thanks,
Fiona.

Hi Fiona,
I couldn't find your marriage in Lilleshall. :'( :'(
I looked from 1762 to 1770 - but couldn't SEE yours - although of course some were nearly blank and others unreadable - that's the problem with old Parish Records.
Strange as it my seem I only found 1 Jones in that period:
John Jones to Elizabeth Tebb in 1766
Sorry - did try
Cheers
Keith
-
Thanks Keith. Only 1 JONES - amazing. Hope you had fun!

For what it is worth I thought I would post it anyway.
I have several Jones on my tree. My connection to the Jones is through my ancestral roots HUMPHERSON.
i have an Enoch Arthur Beech (1887) who married Lillie Jones in 1912 in Newport.
There are so many variations in some names that I thought perhaps the Lillie I show could be a variation of Lillas.

Doris
