Salisbury Jones

[littleclaire]

My Great Great Grandmother was Margaret Salisbury Jones born about 1855 in Llanbillio. I think I have found her parents to be Henry Jones (1816) and Mary Salisbury (1812 or 1817), but this is only an assumption based on the Salisbury connection. Does anybody else know anything about the Salisburys or Salisbury Jones?

Hello Littleclair -  welcome to Rootschat      

Margaret Salisbury Jones birth was registered June Qtr. 1858 in Bangor, Anglesey. (gro ref:11b. 445)

If you send for her birth certificate that will give you both her parents' names and the maiden name of her mother - and also her father's occupation.

Then you will be sure, and will also have an occupation to check against possible census matches.

I sent off for the marriage certificate and discovered that Margaret Salisbury Jones parents are Charles Jones and Joanna Jones formally Price.
Margaret Salisbury Jones was born at the school house Llanfihengel Escefiog.
I have searched and searched and cannot find any other information about the family - no marriage, no census nothing. Can anyone help?

Ooh - I have a completely different one!

1861 census  RG9/4358/58/4

Edit: removed to avoid confusion

Not sure how apt the locations are but as Isobel says, the occupation for Charles would be crucial information - what does the cert say?

kind regards, Arranroots

Well done Isobel!

looks like Rachel Jones died in 66 Merthyr Tydfil so maybe the family are still together on 61 but so far I cant find them.
