Missing Jones -Roberts marriage driving me mad!
« on: Sunday 21 May 23 20:24 BST (UK) »
Any help with this would be hugely appreciated as it is really driving me crazy!
I can’t find a marriage between Evan Jones born Llaniestyn c 1825
 and  Jane Roberts born 1850 Llanllyfni . Father’s name John Roberts a Quarryman.
I know they were married between 1871 and 1881 from census entries.
In 1881 they are living in Pen y Groes Llanllfyni with their children Mary 9 born Llanllyfni,
Ann 7 Llanllyfni and John Robert 1 Llanllyfni.

Marriages Dec 1871 ??
JONES    Evan         Carnarvon    11b   850    
Roberts    Jane         Carnarvon    11b   850    

Two of four people possible people listed

Added - Looking at the 1881 census was Evan born 1845??

Looking at NorthWales BMD the 1871 marriage was a civil marriage

St Bodfan Parish Register Abergwyngregyn Caernarfonshire
Marriage: 25 Aug 1865 . Evan Jones . Jane Roberts
It was the only one I could find.

Are they on the 1911 census?
That could tell you how long they had been married.
Some say they were married, when they had not married.

Some sa
y they were married, when they had not married.

An important point to reinforce.  Quite often hours are spent looking for a marriage that never existed.
