Henry Jones c 1852 COMPLETED

[sandra70]

Hi
Looking for Henry Jones with his parents -
I have him with his wife and family 1881 1891 and 1901, also his
marriage certificate in 1872.
Would like  to see him with his parents in 1861 and 1871 if possible.

Marriage - 1872 in the parish of Heathfield
Henry Jones aged 20 Bachelor, Hawker, resident in Heathfield, Father Samuel Jones, also Hawker
married Mary Sheppard aged 19 spinster, Hawker, resident in Heathfield - completely blank where
father's name should be!
(witnesses are Elijah Jones and Martha Jones)

In 1881, he states he was born Black heath Kent, and is living in Maynard Green
Wife Mary b 1853 children Henry aged 3 and mary ann aged 6.
In 1891 he states he was born in Iden Sussex, still with wife and now extra children
In 1901 he states he was born in Peasmarsh ?? again with wife Mary and children.

Would love to find him with Father Samuel if at all possible.

Hoping that someone has better luck than me

many thanx

You will find Henry's wife's birth cert on

GRO Births March quarter 1853 
Shepherd  Mary Ann    Ticehurst  Fef 2b 72

Perhaps her father's name appears on that.

Hi Sandra

What about this one for 1871

RG10 1045 70 15
Blackdown, Heathfield (which is Punnetts Town today)
Samuel Jones, 40, Ag Lab born Sussex
Sarah Jones, wife, 42, born Sussex
Henry JOnes, son, 20 pedlar, born Kent
Martha Jones, daughter, 17, Pedlar, born Kent
Obed Jones, son, 14, ag lab born sussex
Elizabeth JOnes, daughter, 11, scholar born Sussex
Sarah Jones, daughter, 8 scholar born Sussex
Ellen Jones, daughter, 6 scholar born Sussex
John Jones, son, 3 scholar born Sussex

It is an extremely poor copy and I am going to download so that I can read pobs

Hmm very difficult to read but I've made out some of it.

Samuel - can't make out the town but it ends in Field
Sarah born Winchelsea, Sussex
Henry - again very difficult to read
Martha  born Tenterden, Kent
Elizabeth born Beckley, sussex
and all the younger children were born in Heathfield, therefore they should be in the same place for the 1861 census.

Martha's baptism in Tenterden (1854) is on the IGI.

Found them transcribed as James

RG09 569 160 12
Blackdown, Heathfield
Samuel James, 33 head Besom maker, born not known
Sarah James, 30 wife, born Winchelsea, Sussex
Samuel James, son, 12, born Hawkhurst, Kent
Henry James, son, 10 born Wittersham, Kent and that fits with what I couldn't read on the 1871 
Martha James, daughter, 7, born Tenterden, Kent
Abia James, son, 4 born Bickley, Sussex
Elizabeth James, daughter, 1 born Heathfield, Sussex

thank you Roy and Kerry, that's brilliant

Now this is interesting

I have found a possible marriage for Samuel Jones but its after a couple of the children were born.

Samuel Jones and Sarah Day 1855 December quarter
District - Rye
volume - 2b
Page - 14

The reason I think it might be them is that the next door neighbours on the 1871 census are a Martha Day and her son John and his wife Charlotte.

Just had a search on the 1841 census and found the following:

H0107 1105 5/8 9
Ore, Hastings

There is a Day family which includes Martha Day age 35
son John age 7 and a daughter, Sarah age 10
