Im looking for my GG grandma Sarah Jones. She was born in Montgomeryshire,Wales in 1830. She married a James Brierley in 1852 in England. But I cannot find her parents or other family, so the line stops with her. Help!! Thank you

Welcome to Rootschat.
Do you have the marriage certificate as that will give her father's name and occupation which may help?

1861 census Sarah says she is born in Chester, Cheshire. :-\
I think needle and haystack are coming to mind :)

Found something - James and Sarah's youngest three children in 1881 (Thomas aged 21, James aged 19 and Sarah aged 11) are lodging with a John Jones and family.
Class: RG11; Piece: 4110; Folio: 101; Page: 21
John Jones aged 29 born Heywood, Lancashire.
Possible family :)

John Jones married Mary A Thornton - no father listed on marriage certificate :-\
