Gradmother
« on: Wednesday 10 April 13 10:38 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for the date of birth for my grandmother Sarah Rees (nee Jones).
I have the following information.  She married David Rees in 1916. She lived at Hafod Clydey. Her father was called James Jones I have no idea what her mother's name was . She died in 1952. I wonder if anyone out there knows the month or the quarter she was born.  :D

Did she have any siblings???

If so you may be able to find siblings birth reg's and match mother's maiden name

How old was she at death, and also on her marriage cert?
What was address at marriage, and fathers occupation? Do those lead you to a family in 1911? Sorry we can't do 1911 look ups

Just noticed on previous posts of yours you state Sarah died 1952 age 59
She lived Pontcarrey Newcastle Emlyn
Her maiden name possibly Jones

With a names like Rees & Jones in Wales we need as much information as possible
Could you post links to your other posts  to save duplicate look ups

Hello

I found this Jones family at Hafod, Clydey on 1901, but no sign of Sarah:

John Jones Head Widower age 61 Farmer born Clydey
Elias Jones Son age 36 Farmer's son born Clydey
Rachel Jones Dau age 37 Farmer's daughter born Clydey
Mary Jones Dau age 34 Farmer's daughter born Clydey
Samuel Jones Son age 26 Clogmaker born Clydey
James Jones Son age 23 Farmer's Son born Clydey

RG13 Piece 5139 Folio 140 Page 8

so it's worth looking for the family on 1911.

However with Jones families you need plenty more evidence  :D

Kindest regards
Morgan

Almost certain that John Jones at Hafod, Clydey in 1901 is a brother of James Jones, Sarah's father:

1851 at Cenarth (Llety? I think  :-\  )

Samuel Jones Head age 37 Farmer of 33 acres empl no labourers  born Cenarth
Sarah Jones Wife age 35 born Troedyraur, Cardiganshire
Anna Jones Dau age 14 born Clydey
John Jones Son age 11 born Clydey
Anne Jones Dau age 6 born Clydey
Mary Jones Dau age 4 born Clydey
Sarah Jones Dau age 2 born Clydey
James Jones Son age 4 Months born Clydey
