Could anyone help me to find out what happened to the Jones family after 1871 please. I know its a difficult surname to research, this is what info I've got so far.
Samuel Jones (B) 1832 & Emma Kirby (B) 1830 married St Marys Church Bilston 26 Oct 1859, Samuel occupation Brickmaker.
Children
John (B) 1860 Moxley Bilston, married Barnsley Yorkshire, father Samuel occupation Brickmaker. (I have all the information and census on John that I need).
Mary (B) 1865 Catherines Cross Darleston, George (B)1867 Catherines Cross & Henry (B)1871 Catherines Cross Darleston all 4 children as the fathers occupation on there birth certs as a brickmaker.
I cannot find any more information on Samuel & Emma and the 3 children after 1871 census.
I did buy a death cert for Emma Jones dated 1873 Catherines Cross age given 42,husband Samuel occupation screw forger informant Sarah Yates. Is this my Emma ? if it had said Brickmaker I would have said yes no problem but I'm not sure now.
I've been stuck on this family now for quite a few years so any help or ideas of where to find them would be much appreciated.

Hiya Jacqueline
I think its a good chance it is Emma as the informant wasn't a member of the family maybe they weren't sure of Samuel's occupation There is a burial 9.2.1873 All Saints Moxley of an Emma Jones where the abode is given as Darlaston but no mention of any husband
I will keep looking

There is a George here on the 1881 correct age and birthplace.
Maybe someone could see who else is in the household, as FamilySearch is only showing 3 children.

Its a school - Walsall & West Bromwich School Wigmore the other Jones may not be related as Mary's age is wrong for his sister

There is a Mary J Jones born c1865 Darlaston who is a servant in a household in Normanton Yorkshire on the 1881 census
As her brother John married in Yorkshire maybe they moved there

Hi Willow, That's the burial that matches the death cert that I've got. I bought that cert in 2009 and I keep going back to it as I wasn't sure it was her with the husbands occupation being wrong. Sarah Yates the informant doesn't come into the tree so perhaps she was a neighbour.
I have a death cert for Samuel Jones 7th Dec 1879 Darleston age 43 but again I'm not sure about that.
informant Mary Jones widow of the deceased, present at death 7 Queen St, Darleston, his occupation was bricklayer. the burial is at St George Darleston, the abode on the record is The Green Darleston which doesn't match the address on the death cert. I can't find a marriage to Samuel Jones and Mary in the dates between those 2 death certs, I just feel as though I'm going round in circles.
Thanks for trying to help

Hi Jamjar, I have looked at this 1881 census many times and again its the ages that's wrong with my Mary being born in 1865 and George being born in 1867. I haven't got a child William but I will check again on GRO and see if he's mine.
Thank you for your help

Hiya Jacqueline
I think that's the right Samuel I don't think you will find a marriage for the 'widow' they may not have made it up the aisle
There is an area in Darlaston called the Green maybe Queen Street come under there which is where the confusion is coming from

Hi Willow, I've find a 1881 census for Mary Jones widow living at The Green Darleston with her family. I've gone back and found the 1871 census and she is married to Samuel Jones Bricklayer so that matches the death cert I bought so I'm going to delete this family from my tree as My Samuel was at home with his family in 1871.
Mary J Jones living in Normanton I'm not sure about her yet as I can see quite a few Mary J Jones born about the same age as my Mary in Darleston.
This family is driving me mad but they will be found one day.
Thank you for your help
