I have the marriage certificate for Margaret Jones and Ellis Hughes, Dec 30, 1854 at St Mary's Chester. It doesn't give a full address for them, just Upton. Margaret's father is Hugh Jones.
I have found a Hugh Jones, wife Alice on the LDS site. They had 8 children: John 1821, Robert 1822, Mary 1825, Alice 1826, Margaret 1828, Hugh 1831, Jane 1833 and Elizabeth 1835. All born Gyfylliog except Jane & Elizabeth b at Llanhaidr.
I found the family on the 1841 & 1851 Census at Llanhaidr - all present and correct. By the 1861 Census - Margaret and Alice are missing - presumably married or dead. Which would tie in with Margaret's marriage date to Ellis Hughes.
My quandry is - how can I find out if this family is mine and Margaret's. Later census say she was born at Llanferras not Llanhaidr. Not knowing the area - are they near each other?
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can verify I have the right family please? I could be searching up the wrong tree! Does anyone else have a connection to these Jones's?
Help please. Thanks
