Robert Jones and Jane Mattes
« on: Friday 24 February 06 16:49 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any info on my GGG Granfather Robert Jones and Jane Mattes who married at Nercwys St Mary around 1861. Jane was born in Llanfairtalhaiarn Denbighshire.
Mattes is not such a common name in Wales, or England, I think it is Austrian or German origin.

Thanks,

Gary

Without wishing to sound corny Gary,have you considered the possibility that the "Mattes" is perhaps a mistranscription of say Matthews?Also have you also seen the couple on any later Census?

Thanks for your help Paul, very much appreciated.

I am now only 90% certain that these are my GGG Grandparents. The family I refer to appear in the 1871 and 1881 census.
Robert was from St Asaph,Flintshire and Jane from Llanfairtalhaiarn, Denbighshire. They had 6 children, Jane, Thomas, Elizabeth, Maria, Mary and Sarah.  Jane junior was born about 1861/1862
so I estimated their marriage would be about 1861.
According to my searches, the only Robert Jones who married during this year from the Holywell area was to a Jane Mattes. Your resource seems more detailed than mine, are there any others I have missed?

It is strange that I cannot find any reference to any Jane Mattes in any 1841 or 1851 census.

Thanks again for your help, all contributions gratefully received!
