Hi Carole and Red
Thanks for your replies.
My Grandfather married my Grandmother 8th Feb 1919. He stated on the marriage certificate that his father name was Christopher Ryan occupation Laborer.
My father was only 10 years old when his father died, leaving his wife with seven children in 1932.
Life was hard for my grandmother for many years. She did re marry later on.
My father never spoke about his dad it seamed it was taboo no one in the family even spoke about him.
I started out tracing the family and eventually discovered that my Grand father died of TB.
It was only when my Dad passed away that i also discovered that my Grandfather was living with a couple named Catherine and Christopher Robinson when he married my grandmother. I heard that my father and brothers/sisters called this lady Grand Ma Robo . I thought strange all these years i was looking for a Christopher Ryan and hear was a Christopher Robinson . Any way i sent for Catherine and Christophers Marriage Certificate and discovered that Catherine's maiden name was Ryan and her father was a William Ryan occupation Baker . This opened up a new avenue .
So as i mentioned recently my Grandfathers birth is a mystry
Thanks

Thank you so much for your help i truly appreciate any little bit of help or information.
William died 13 August 1895 his wife Annie was at his bed side.
Amelia was one of Williams Daughters and did marry James Kilburn William 1901 was her brother
I have discovered that when their father William died in 1895. Their mother couldn't cope so she put the following children into care Minnie and Mary also James . Minnie and Mary  where sent to London to a convent. James stayed in a boys home in Liverpool.
Minnie and Mary both emigrated about 1920 to New Zealand where they lived out their life.
Catherine who i mentioned was my Great Grandmother and brought up her son William alone .I have been told that she sent William to America to family where he stayed until war broke out 1914 he came back and joined the 8th Irish Liverpool Kings and eventually married my Grand mother.
As i say i truly appreciate any help
Thank You

Hi i am looking for help and information regarding the following family i have information from the 1881 Census but would appreciate further help.

Joseph Jones aged 40 born Llandyrnog Denbigh Wales

Mary Jones aged 52 born Henllan Denbigh Wales

Sarah E Jones = Daughter born Meliden Flint Wales aged 30

Robert Jones = Son born Newmarket Flint Wales. aged 13

Not sure if  Mary is Josephs Second wife as the daughters age seems odd or could she be his wife

I think i may have Joseph in 1871 census as widow but place of birth Bodffary

Iwould truly appreciate any little bit of information

Hi its not very often you come across some one looking for a Jones in Llandyrnog .
I myself have been looking for my family .My Greatgrandfather was named Robert Jones he was born 1868  Newmarket Flintshire Wales. his fathers name was Joseph Jones born 1841 Llandyrnog Denbigh Wales . i haven't had any further information as joneses are everywhere there may be a connection somewhere Joseph Jones was a lead miner and his wife in 1881 English census was a Mary Jones .this may have been his second wife as she appears to be 10 years older then him
