help needed to find samuel please..
« on: Sunday 29 January 12 10:11 GMT (UK) »

my wife's family recently found a bible belonging to a Samuel Jones the date was 1873 penley school.
i would like to find out more about him and if he had family,then perhaps i could connect him to my wife's family tree.

so far i have found him in the 1871 census living with his mother and father.
Samuel was born in 1863 in hanmer.
his father William born in 1819 in hanmer.
his mother Sarah born in 1819 in harmer.
they lived in penley.

also found him living with his brother in the 1881 census
David Jones born 1852 halghton he was a railway porter.
Davids wife Mary j Jones born 1855 penley.
Samuel born 1863 in penley his was a labourer.
they lived in wrexham regis.

i have had a look on other  census's but i can not seem to find him anywhere.
hope someone can find him please.
thank you.

As you can't find Samuel in later censuses an early death needs to be considered.There is a death of a Samuel Jones aged 19 registered in the April quarter of 1883 in Wrexham registration district which looks a reasonable candidate.Perhaps only a speculative purchase revealing address and informant might confirm this.
There is also a marriage for a Samuel Jones(obviously age unknown) in the Oct. quarter of 1881 in Wrexham to either Mary France or Harriet Meyrick,which is a posibility even in the above circumstances,but I won't speculate on iddentifying any Jones births.

Regards
Roger

that's great.
thank you very much for your help.
i might order a death cert and go from there,i should think it will be quite difficult to see if he had any descendants before he died though.
thanks again.
