Hi, I am researching my paternal line and know my great grandfather was known as Thomas Emrys JONES - on the majority of census 1891, 1901 and 1911, he is shown as being born in Hanley, Staffs though it appears he may have been born in Flintshire as on 1871 this is where he is shown as living in Mold with his mother Elizabeth father Thomas, brother John Edward and sister Margaret. It appears Thomas senior remarried (though did not find death of Elizabeth) as on 1881 census he is again living in Flintshire with wife of Thomas snr shown as Ellin - there is also a brother born at same age as John Edward who is not on the 1871 census (David)
His brother John Edward JONES born 1867 is shown on the various census and it seems Thomas and John travelled to Cumberland in 1891 and living in area of Ellenborough/Dearham where he married Margaret Hannah ARMSTRONG b 29/11/1869 at Union Workhouse, Cockermouth (whose parents I cannot find). Great grandfather TE Jones is shown on his wedding certificate as residing in New Seaham, Co. Durham 19/11/1892 which is where I find TEJ on the various census afterwards as well as his brother JEJ.
So my query is - how will I locate his birth record? as he is shown as born in two different places - or perhaps I am wrong in my findings thus far.
On 1939 records Thomas Emrys is acturally shown as Thomas H JONES living with a son Joseph Holland JONES (54, Seventh Street, Horden, Co Durham. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Best regards - Bryn
