Ireland / Re: RICHARD SMITH FEATHER - IRELAND
« on: Sunday 14 August 05 22:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi Erin

Thank you very much for all that information:  the boys have strange names don't they?
Jonas would have been 5 yrs old in 1881 - if his name was there I would say it's more than likely the family, which would be really good news.
None of those names have featured down the line in Jonas and Margarets children,  except Richard as a middle name, i.e. Thomas Richard, Herbert, Leslie, Harold and Dorothy.

I really need to find Jonas Birth Certificate so I can at least have a mother's name also.
I really appreciate what you have done on my behalf Erin, if you can help me with finding Jonas birth certificate that would be great.  I will try that website I haven't used that one.

Cheers for now - Shirles

Hi Erin

That looks very possible - the family know very little - except that Jonas Mother (name unknown) brought Jonas and sister (Sarah - name of witness of Jonas marriage certificate) over from Ireland having left/ separated from Richard Smith Feather.  So I have 'assumed' he was born in Ireland.

They only way I know Jonas father was Richard Smith Feather is on Jonas marriage cert.

Is there any other information at all i.e. mother's name, siblings, etc. on what you have found?
Thank you very much Erin for finding that, if he was English I have a better chance of tracing back as a lot of Ireland's records were destroyed.

 Hi - Please could anyone look up Richard Smith Feather born Ireland.
I now have his son Jonas Feather's marriage to Margaret Ann Owen on October 4th 1913
in the Parish Church of St.Aiden, Liverpool, Lancashire. Jonas was 27 yrs old -
Richard Smith Feather was a Farm Labourer.

I'm afraid I don't know where in Ireland he was born. Can anyone help me at all, I would be very grateful

Shropshire / Richard JONES father of Edwin JONES - Shrewsbury
« on: Tuesday 24 May 05 16:49 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me please with trying to trace my Gr.Gr.Gr.Grandfather Richard Jones. The only known fact I have is on his son Edwin Jones Marriage Certificate, stating Father - Richard Jones - Writing Clerk.
 
Edwin Jones married Anne Evans on 6th October 1853 at the Register Office in the District of Shrewsbury, County of Salop. Both aged 21 yrs.
Edwin's residence of the time of marriage was Castle Foregates Shrewsbury.
Just to give you a bit more background on Edwin I found him in:

1871 aged 36 born Shrewsbury - Station Agent -Machynlleth
Anne aged 38 born Ludlow wife

There is a discrepancy in their ages:
Marriage 1853 Edwin and Anne were 21 = Born 1832
1871 Edwin was 36 = born 1835
1871 Anne was 38 = born 1833
+ children
It's my guess that Edwin was really only 19 when he married, so possible date for birth would be 1834, but I can't find his birth certificate either.

1881 Edwin aged 46 Station Master - Llanfyllin
Anne aged 48
+ children

1891 Edwin aged 56 Station Master - Llanfyllin
Anne aged 58
+ child

If you can help me with birth certificates for Edwin & Richard or marriage of Richard to give me a lead further back, I would be very grateful.

Many thanks in anticipation of your help.
