I've been looking everywhere for Thomas Finch - no joy whatsoever..  :(

There's a possible candidate in 1841 (a plumber & glazier) with wife Ann and 5 kids, but no child to match Robert Jones, so no proof it's the right guy.

I'm reasonably sure the Miller connection is the right one, but don't like loose ends!  (Plus I have a Finch connection in Lancashire, although mine is Manchester, not Wigan.)

Back again

No news on Finch but .. .. ..

1861 census, RG 9/2395 folio 25 pg 44
9 Ct 1 House Ben Johnson Street, Islington, Liverpool

John Jones; head; mar; ropemaker
Jane do; wife; 61
Robert do; son; unm; 35; dock labourer
Edward do; son; unm; 25; twine spinner
Jane do; dau; unm; 19
Hellen Smith; visitor; 3
All born Liverpool

Also, next door
Catherine Jones; serv; 17; domestic servant; Liverpool

Seems a bit of a coincidence to have the same address & the rope making connection  ;D

Would need checking with a lookup on the marriage of Robert & Hannah.

Hi Kids Nana,

Am new to this research but am interested in your Robert & Hannah Jones.
My great grandfather on my Mum's side was Joseph Jones b 1874, the son of Robert Jones & Hannah Finch. Am actually stuck as only info on the Finch side is that Hannah's dad was Thomas and lived with the family in Cazneau Street in 1881 ( born Wigan).
And as for the Jones's...... so many in the Liverpool area and not sure of their original place of birth.
I would welcome any more info you may have.
Sue

Hi Sue,
   So nice to hear from you but unfortunately I never did find anything about the Finch connection.My Hannah was definitely a Miller I have their marriage cert.Please keep in touch and let me know what you find things are not always what they seem they kept a lot of secrets and told a lot of untruths in the day.Good luck and let me know what you find out.
   Best wishes and Merry Christmas,Joyce
