Hi Phil,   I think you might be referring to my Bury family at Tenbury.   I can send you a Tree copy if you wish--my email in above post

Hello all,
        Can anyone help with a baptism for Charlotte Jones?  ON 1851 Census she gives her birthplace as Whitney-on-Wye,--but there is no baptism there.  From her given age in 1851, she was b 1789.    I'm assuming the family moved soon after her birth, and thus she was baptised elsewhere--if at all!
Charlotte Jones married  Edward Yapp  on 28 Dec. 1816, at Burford, Shropshire (close to Tenbury Wells, Worc,)  First known child (of 5)  was George Yapp, b 1820 at Burford, --last known Eliza Yapp b 1832 also at Burford.  Charlotte die June 1870, age 81, at Knighton-on-Teme, Worc.
   If any of you are researching Jones's---and no easy task, that--perhaps you may have stumbled on Charlotte's baptism somewhere.
  Maybe i'll get lucky!  Robbie

Hi everyone,  To start would just like to say that a previous post searching for John Bury of Rochford has been resolved---He was born /bt at Upper Areley, 1789.  Could not be found at Worcester RO --but at Lichfield---as Upper Areley was historically in Staffordshire.!!
Anyway, a new problem--same family.  John's daughter, Sarah Bury.
In December 1842,  she married George Jones--also b Knighton--her father's name given as John Bury.  That she was the dau of John Bury of Upper Areley origin is confirmed by  George Jones being the informant at Registration of John's death in 1850.     
I cannot find Sarah Bury's  baptism.  She is given on all Census --except '41 of course--as being born Knighton - on Teme. Her birthyear varies through the Census' from 1816-to 1821, but I think 1816 is correct.  She--and George--are on all Census' up to / incl.1881.
George died 1883.  On 1891 Census, Sarah, widow, is given as only 70 yrs old, and working as a house servant--in Knighton. Think she probably clipped a few yrs off to get work.
  She does not appear on 1901 Census.   Her death then must have been between 1891 & 1901  Census'. I would like to get her Death Certificate--but--there are a lot of candidates on FreeBMD!  Identifying the correct Sarah Jones--is complicated by not knowing where she died.
 If at place of work, Knighton, the death should have been Registered at Tenbury.  Worc. in which case she would have been Reg with incorrect age(by employers.)
   However, she had 9 children, and being Jones--you can imagine what that means--and there are a LOT of Sarah Joneses--so it's not viable to order Certificates in the hope of getting the right one--too much risk involved!!   If she left her employment, and went to live with one of her children--no telling where she might have died--and searching death indexes, would not be easy--but probably in Worcestershire.
  If anyone knows of this Sarah Bury,/ Jones b 1816 Knighton on Teme  Worcestershire, where she was baptised , do please post here.
Ideas on how to identify correct Sarah Jones  death are most welcome too.
  Cheers,
         
   
 

John Bury 1787 Clifton on Teme ruled out! At age 49 he married a 17 yr old girl--and moved to Middlesex.   The search goes on.
