Hi lorlor53
I have found this thread after a Google search and hope you may be able to make a link!

I am trying to tie down a John Jones, father to Julius Jones, my Great Great Great Grandfather. I have Julius' baptism dated 7th February 1808 in Bisley, stating John Jones as the father. I've traced Julius through a maariage record in 1830 to a Sarah Jones (cousin?) in Bisley, then through a series of his children's baptism records in Bisley (Alfred, Ellen and Emma). He then moves to Gloucester where my Great Great Grandfather George Henry is born in 1938. The 1841 census shows him living in Bristol  (wife Sarah, children Alfred, Emma, George, Hester, as well as a Thomas Jones and Thomas Tuck). After having another child, Hester in Bristol in 1843, he then has his last child, Pamela in Shoreditch, East London in 1846. The rest of his life, until his death in 1879, is in the East End / Essex where my mother's line come from (appearing in all censuses).

The closest link I can find is a possible brother being an Abraham Jones (as mentioned in your post on rootschat 7 years ago). Abraham is born 4 years later in the same village, by the same father's name, John Jones.

Is this John Jones the father of both men?

Would love to make a match - let me know if you think you have anything.

Thanks!
