Information on Edmund Reed Jones

[terryt]

Hello Fellow Searches,

I am looking for information on Edmund Reed Jones. Birth, siblings etc. I believe he was born somewhere in South Wales about 1828?

His father, John, was  a "sugar refiner?" 

He married Mary Ann Hunt in Bristol, Gloucester on Jan 6th 1884.

They emigrated with their family to Australia in 1857.

Regards,
Terry t

what information was given for Edmund on the cert? What occupation? Was he shown as under 21? Do the names of the witnesses help?

I'm assuming that the marriage was in 1848 not 1884...

Where in the UK were the children born ? This might help to find them in the 1851 census. If you have the census info, please give the reference.

this could be a match for them in 1851, albeit without Mary Ann born 1848

Thanks to Colin and Osprey for your help. Edmund worked in the Government Printing Office here as
a bookbinder so I would say that was him.
