Finding Sarah Jones

[Mema17]

Im looking for my GG grandma Sarah Jones. She was born in Montgomeryshire,Wales in 1830.  She married a James Brierley in 1852 in England.  But I cannot find her parents or other family, so the line stops with her. Help!!   Thank you

Welcome to Rootschat.

Do you have the marriage certificate as that will give her father's name and occupation which may help?

Was the marriage in Rochdale in 1853 as opposed to 1852 ?

James Brearley -  24, Collier, Bachelor, Shawfield
Sarah Jones - 24, Spinster, Sandy Lane

Bride's Father: John Jones, Collier

That's a nice easy one to research in Wales isn't it.

1861 census Sarah says she is born in Chester, Cheshire.

I think needle and haystack are coming to mind

Found something - James and Sarah's youngest three children in 1881 (Thomas aged 21,  James aged 19 and Sarah aged 11) are lodging with a John Jones and family.

Class: RG11; Piece: 4110; Folio: 101; Page: 21

John Jones aged 29 born Heywood, Lancashire.

Possible family

John Jones married Mary A Thornton - no father listed on marriage certificate

James Brierley head m 29 Carter born Rochdale
Sarah.            Wife m   29                  Chester
JOHN.              SON U 9  COALMINER HEYWOOD
Robert.             SON u 7 scholar  Heywood
Samuel              SON u 3.            Rochdale
Thomas              SON u 1.            Rochdale.

Would seem John Brierley and John Jones are same age so same person?
