I am still looking for my great grandfather b. abt -76/77, on the 1901, 1911 census has him place of birth Sheffield but all the Edward's around that time don't seem to match. on both those censuses he was living in Wales. occupations have been Railway Ganger, platelayer, foreman platelayer, Famer. he owned Abergafren farm in Minffordd, he was deacon at the English Prestyberian chapel for 16 years worked for the railways for over 40 years according to his Obituary. he was married to Mary Jane jones. Married in 1899 Newtown. 5 children or may have been 6. after leaving the farm he lived in a house called Trem Tecwyn

I found out recently with regards to the 1911 census he had a H as his middle name, which was Humphrey. with searches that alot of people have helped me with in my quest to find his birth entry. they think the answer lies in North Wales.

A friend has found and entry for an Edward Humphery Jones b. in Machenlyth sorry for any spelling mistake. In his obituary notice says that he was b. Newtown.

on the marriage cert it lists an Edward Jones as his father but deceased at the time of marriage.
 on the census records my friend found also listed Edward as Head Wife Ann.

Witnesses on the marriage cert were William Jones bride's father, and Ann Jones could this have been his mother.

Died Jan 18th 1956, and is buried with his wife in the cemtary in Minffordd as is his daughter & son in law.

Many thanks

Hi, I am looking for a Hannah Ann Williams, b,1842 Derby, I think may be My great great Grandmother, I know she had a Daughter called Rose Florence Jones( Rose's Father was called Henry, ) Hannah i think had 2 other children but by a different Man, the other children were called Sarah Jane & Edward, (Edward was my great grandfather) on his marriage cert it has father down as Edward.

I am told Edward was born in Sheffield 1873, but can't find any birth record that matches, Sarah born in Derby,

Also can't find any possible marriages for Hannah either to an Edward or a Henry.

My Great grandfather went on to live in Wales.

Hi i am trying to find a newspaper article on my great great grandfather Edward Jones, the article was published many years ago in the North wales Daily Post , (Many years after his death, he died in 1956) it was about him giving away a piece of his land to the local scout group in Porthmadoc, he  lived on a farm called Abergafren, (Probably spelt it wrong)

Thankyou
