If they were both the children of Alice Jones - then she must have been previously married.  Without her maiden name prior to the Jones marriage - you won't be able to go back further

I wonder who reported Watkin's death?  If Alice was his mother and if she reported his death - then at least we know we are on the right track

Hi again, the source of your information,  how did they link Watkin with Richard,  who I have located in most census returns including this 1841:-

Richard Jones 30
Ann 25
Mary 4
Gweny 2
Residing at Tyn Evil, Cadoxton
Census ref HO107/1421/ 10/5 / 3

Hi
I'm not too sure how Richard and Watkin where linked, we just had it written in a letter.
CaroleW I think you might be right about Alice being married to someone else getting the Jones surname.  I've just found a marriage on Free Reg for an Alice John and Evan Jones 14th Jan 1799, so I'm wondering if this might be the right one.
