Thomas Jones
« on: Saturday 17 May 14 16:48 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find Thomas Jones in the 1881 census. In 1911, he is living in England with his wife Agnes, nee Sharp. He was born around 1876 in Holywell. I've done some searches already but it's coming up with loads of results and I need to narrow it down. His father was called Thomas Jones but that is all I know about his family in Wales. What can I do to narrow down my search?

Thanks,
Elizabeth

the marriage record reads
Marriage 29 Apr 1898
Great Grimsby Lincs
Edward Thomas Jones age 22
father Thomas Jones

married
Agnes Sharpe


is this the correct marriage?

Did he go by his middle name on census??

How certain are you that you have the correct Thomas & Agnes in 1911
The Thomas b Holywell only seems to have been married to Agnes for 4 years???

Do you have them on 1901 census ??

Might this Thomas (or Edward Thomas ) have been born Buckley Flints???

Do you have the marriage certificate? That would give (Edward) Thomas' occupation
Witnesses may be related
What was Agnes' father's name??

Hi Suz,
Thomas married in 1907 in Barnsley. I was told my an aunt that his father's name was Thomas but I still need to confirm this. I thought about buying his birth certificate but I need both parents names and year of birth. Jones is a very common surname and there are many Thomas Jones born around 1876 in Holywell!

its the marriage cert you need to begin with -that would give name of father and occupation
