 This is a good site, but not free  - you pay for credits. There are not many Eastops in the census so might be worth a look. :)

Hello Hjem
Yes, it does look as though we are tracing the same Owen  :)!  Wow! this is fun. Do you think we are related? My mum Violet Jones - daughter of Arthur William Jones) was brought up in a childrens home and never met her father or knew much about him - that was partly what prompted my interest in family history (mum's family contrasts slightly with my dad's - he was one of 15 - I needed a family tree program just to keep track of current relatives!) Back to the subject in hand - if you have any knowledge of Arthur William (did he become a millionaire LOL!!) I would love to know!
I know he was in the Navy in WW1 -a stoker, that he was 5' 3", dark-haired and fair skinned with a mole on his chin - that was  from his navy record at Kew! When he came out of the navy he became a silversmith. Whilst in the Navy he kept absconding! I am looking further into that.....
I hope we do tie up somewhere in our trees...can't wait to hear ...best wishes..

Hello again Hjem,
We 'found' some other 2nd cousins purely by accident when we went to see my Granny's home and they went a coupleenbigh Record Officeof weeks later and the chap who lives there put us in touch with each other. That must have been thrilling. How does your granny connect with Owen?
I contacted the Denbighshire Records Office   and have a copy of the Pedigree of a Rev Richard Jones of Ruthin - don't get too excited - it is very scrappy looking - as though done on the back of an envelope! and only covers a couple of generations. I also have a newspaper article about Rev Richard Jones -very interesting readi ng and I will get  a copy of it for you over the weekend.
I am at full-time work now (after a  break) and it takes up much of my research time! LOL!!!
bye for now
best wishes
Katy

Hi Katy
well you've got much more than us!! We have Owen married Lydia Clark (parents John & Ann Clark of Lynn - Kings Lynn) on 31.1.1831. census forms for 1841 1851 1861(Alfred & Robert only) 1881, 1891 and 1901.  Then from Mum and Baptism records we have their children John bap 1834 Sedgeford, Richard Owen b 31.5.1835 bap June 1835, then Richard Owen again along with Joseph William bap July 8th 1838 (no record of a Richard dying and census has Richard as 3 yrs older than Joseph!! obviously done to confuse us!) both born in Sedgeford and Mum thinks Richard may have been a watchmaker, then Robert Samuel bap 7.4.1840 Mum thinks poss church minister born Thornham, Ebenezer Calvin bap 14.1.1844 Thornham, Alfred Isaac 25.1.1846 Thornham Mum thought poss a blacksmith and maybe married Ann Mason (he & Robert were lodging with Mason family in 1861, Owen Henry bap 9.1.1848 Thornham married Margaret Eastop from Glasgow (died Birmingham c1934, Margaret died 1928/9 in Belvedere) and Mum thought there was a girl Christine who died in infancy - we could find no record of this.  I 'come from' Owen Henry, they had 10  girls and 1 boy - their 6th child was Elizabeth Jane born 25.11.1881 at 11 Edith Street Haggerston, Married Frederick Thomas Burr on 2.3.1902, had 5 children Mum being the youngest, and died on 15.10.1972.
Owen & Margaret had:- Margaret 1871 m Harry Burr (Grannys bro in law) 8 children Harry Alec Maggie & ?????

                                      Amelia 1873 m Walter Griffin  1 child Walter
                                      Lydia Jean 1875 m Alec Kelly had Lyddie, Maggie, Alec & Bill
                                      Harriet A 1878 m Ted Brockman had Will, Maggie, Dolly (Edith), Robbie & Charley
                                      Owen Henry 1880 m Ethel Blainey  adopted 3 then had 2 of their own
                                       Elizabeth Jane (Granny) 1881 m Fred Burr had Frederick, Elizabeth Rose (Rosie), Victor,
                                                                                                           Lyddie and Freda (Mum)
                                       Alice Louise 1885 at Chiswick m George Coates  had 5  Margaret, George ?    ?    ?   Alice was booked to go on the Titanic but missed it - Luckily!!
                                       Edith 1887 Silvertown Essex m Frank Smith  had Doris & Joan  (I don't envy them looking for Smiths and Jones!!)
                                        Grace Joan 1890 m Alan Partridge had 1 stepson
                                         Gertrude 14.11.1893  Erith m Gilbert Ashbee in 1914 had Tommy (15.3.14), Winnie (11.1.16)
                                          and Margaret (19.5.33) who died at 13.  It is Winnie's son we are in contact with.
                                    and Ethel Oct 1897 Erith  m Jim Tappin  had David.

Someone had a Grace as Mum used to work with Auntie Gracie and cousin Gracie in the Holloway Pleating Company in Holloway Road London.
The first 6 of Owen & Margarets children were born at Haggerston.

Mum also thought that 1 of the 7 Jones Brothers (O & L's) was the Jones ot Jones and Dunn Hatmakers -  not unreasonable as Lydia was a bonnet maker (or is that clutching at straws!!)

Oh how I wish I'd payed more attention to Mum and Granny's 'ramblings' when they knew what they were talking about - Granny would have known exactly who did what, where and when.  Still we're getting there and with your bits, Maurice's bits and our bits we are at least 'getting the picture'.

Don't think it helps your personal search but hopefully will fill in some gaps, as yours has done for us.   As you've been to Kew do you live near there?  We do.

Chat later
Mary

Phew! Mary that must have taken ages for you to type. I like your pun about clutching at straws and bonnet maker LOL! And yes I do live near Kew - wouldn't it be funny if we had passed each other in the street. In fact - if you like - we could meet up - I'll send you a personal msg with more details - don't want all the Jones rootschatters knocking on more door for  a brew - not that I would mind - no offence meant!
