Hi Osprey, long time no speak.   I hope all is well with you in the wet and windy north.   Thanks for the marriage info, it checks out with the info I have on James's marriage in 1898 which gives his father as Henry Jones, tailor.   The plot thickens.   

Thanks for the 1851 doran54.   The fs in 1841 indicates she was a family servant so Griffith Jones, Minister of the Gospel may not be her father.

a bit of a tangle

Typical Jones maze 'simplified' by the insertion of a relatively uncommon name, Picton.   Still could be worse, on my paternal grandmother's marriage certificate every name was Jones including the witnesses, minister and the registrar

I thought all was well when I discovered that her mother's maiden name was Mary (or Mair) Clayton (or Cleaton) who, as far as I can work out was born in Guilsfield, Montgomeryshire.   She will be the subject of a new post when I get round to it.

One of the witnesses to the 1869 marriage is a Thomas Jones who is maybe the one living next door to the family in 1871, shoemaker and town crier.

Sorry to disappoint, this bit of the north sunny and not windy today. We've been escaping the bad weather very nicely so far.

Thanks for that information.  I'm glad all OK.   I know the worst hit is the south.   My daughter lives in Wiltshire, luckily on high ground and although paths by the house are flooded none are impassible.   The winds however are something else.....
