1901 Census - Grayson ??
« on: Thursday 13 July 17 13:01 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am working on an ancestor ROBERT JONES b Flintshire about 1844. He was married to Priscilla Brailsford.
He was a copper smelter and possibly moved with his family to L'pool where he got married in 1873.

On the 1901 census it says he was born in Grayson, Flintshire - has anybody heard of this as it may help me to whittle down his parents/grandparents as clearly lots of Jones' to research!

Thanks

13 Jul 1873, St Nicholas, Lancashire
Father - Joseph Jones, Boiler Maker
Spouse - Priscilla Brellisford
Spouse's father - Joseph Brellisford, Smelter

Yep that's my Robert Jones. So the "Grayson", Flintshire is a red herring on the 1901 census ( possibly a typo) ?

Think it is a very good possible Maureen, well spotted.

This is the bapt of Robert of this family https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KCR8-YZH

Register states, Born 18 April, same address as 1851 father occ boilermaker.

Mothers maiden name Bennion for the girls, not locating Robert on GRO, there is a marriage registered in Great Boughton for these parents.

There's this baptism

Hawarden
May 19 1844 (born April 18)  Robert Jones, son of Joseph (boiler maker) and Elizabeth of Pentre Mancot (?). Mancot is to the north of Hawarden.

Sorry, Cas I didn't see that you might have found them. There was no red warning either  :-\

Ohh thank you all. The Boiler maker is the clue I think as they all continued in that line of work when they arrived in Liverpool.

Is there a marriage cert anywhere for Joseph & Elizabeth or possibly even their birth records?

Cheers  :)
