Elizabeth Jones born c1870

[ostler]

Hi all

Trying to track down the family of Elizabeth Jones born c1870, possibly in Kemberton, Shropshire. Her father's name was George Jones, and I've been told she had a brother called Harry. She married Clement Bromley in Foy, Herefordshire, 7 Jun 1897. She had eleven children in all, and died 21 Apr 1935 in Barford, Warwickshire.

I'd like to find out more about her parents, specifically what her mother's name is. If naming patterns are anything to go by, her mother's name could be Annie, as that is her first child's name. Her second child was called George, although her husband's father's name was also George.

I have a picture of her and her father.

I've looked her up on IGI but there's no way of being 100% certain with that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

If she was b 1870 - she should be on the 1881 census which is free to search at www.familysearch.org

That's odd - I typed the following 1871 census details for you and they disappeared as I posted the reply

1871 for Kemberton

George Jones 27 coal miner b Shifnal
Mary 32 b Stoke ?? Worcestershire
Elizabeth 1 b Kemberton
RG10; Piece: 2747; Folio: 56; Page: 2

I think I've found her in 1871. Her mother is Mary ...born about 1839 in Stoke Rivers, Worcestershire. The 1881 reference for the census is RG11/2633/52/3.

She has a brother Harry and George and sisters Emily Ann and Jane Ellen by 1881.

Thanks, is there any way to be more certain that this is the right family, though?

I did a search on the IGI and did find the baptism of Elizabeth and Jane Ellen and it gives their mother's name as Mary Jones 

There are a lot of Elizabeth Jones but this was the only one with a father George and a brother Harry born in Kemberton

The Kemberton bit could be erroneous for all I know; this is my grandmother's grandmother, and she told me she was born in Kemberton, but then she thought her father was born somewhere he wasn't.

The 1901 shows her b Kemberton

I found the same person again in 1891 as a domestic servant.

And I did find an Elizabeth Bromley  in 1901 married to a Clement ...he is aged 35 and is a bricklayer born Pebworth Glouster.

They are living in Barford Warwickshire. At this point she has three children - Annie age 3, George Henry aged 23 months and Gertrude Mary aged 6 months. They have a border - Harry Jones.
