Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 & 1871 census Mary Jones, Usk

Alexander John Jones was married to Mary ANNE (known as Agnes) Buckley

After Agnes died  he married "Ma Lavin", a woman first name Arabella who lived with (but wasn't married to) George Tressider Lavin.

George died in what looks to me suspicious circumstances (poisoning) and witness to the death was not Arabella but Alexander (their P/T gardener at the time)

Three months later Alexander married Arabella. He was already living with her.

Family History Beginners Board / Pre-1837 JONES!
« on: Saturday 20 June 15 10:49 BST (UK)  »
Hello Everyone

My father's side were from USK, Monmouthshire, and I found his father, Allen JONES, his grandfather, Alexander John Jones (1866), his great grandfather John Jones (b 1828), and at least the name of John Jones' father (James JONES b 1798)

James, John, Alexander were all carpenters. (James also was undertaker and coffin-maker and may well have been a murderer who got away with it!)

My question is, when you search pre-1837 and come up with a number of possible marriages, births, parents, etc, how can you eliminate the wrong ones and zoom in on the correct ones?


Thanks all!
