Elizabeth Jones Price

[charlottecoates]

Elizabeth is my great grandmother. On her marriage certificate she is down as Elizabeth Jones Price but her father is down  as William Jones. Wondering if anyone else has come across Elizabeth. I've a feeling her mother remarried but how do I work this out, or have I come to a halt.

[myluck!]

What year is the certificate?
Did she describe herself as single? could she have been widowed or divorced?
Can you locate her prior to he marriage?

Although not knowing Elizabeth with a little more information may be able to help

She is down as spinster on marriage certificate of 1876, and she lived in the Plough and Harrow, Upper Chapel, prior to her marriage. I think her mother remarried and she decided to add his name, although on the certificate it doesn't state deceased. Although I have some that do, and you know full well the were alive!!!
But thank you for thinking about it

Thank you so much for looking for me. This certainly seems the best solution to the marriage name.

there's a possible for Elizabeth in 1861 at RG9/4214 folio 73 pg 8 as a nurse child in Llandefalle, giving her place of birth as Llangunog, so not far from Llanynys

Well another one for me to look at. People seem to change their places of birth. Will look that up. Thank you ever so much for taking the time
