Hi

I am trying to find the baptism and parents of Evans Jones according to the census records he waa born in Bolnhurst beds between 1810/1812. He married Mary Sugars In Riseley in 1831 and died in Bolnhurst in 1877.

Many thanks

David

He was baptised 21 Apr 1848 at Bolnhurst. His parents are given as Evans (a labourer) and Elizabeth. His date of birth is given as 17 May 1811.

Hi Steven

Many thanks for your help, do you have access to the Bolnhurst records as they dont seem to be avaiiable online. I wonder if youcould kindly check for the marriage of Evans Snr and Elizabeth please ?

Kind Regards  David

You can find my transcripts of Bolnhurst registers from 1813 at my site http://www.stevengibbs.me.uk/BaptismRegistersPage.htm

Bolnhurst registers before then can be found at https://archive.org/details/bedfordshirepari11bedf/page/n9/mode/2up?view=theater

However, FamilySearch shows a marriage of Evans Jones to Elizabeth Pickering at Stagsden on 28 May 1791. I would normally be sceptical about this - Stagsden is a bit too far away. However, there only appears to be one Evans Jones in Bedfordshire at the time. Unfortunately, I don't think the Stagsden Registers are online, so I can't check.
