Robert Jones 1841 census
« on: Wednesday 01 May 24 08:07 BST (UK) »
In am trying to find the 1841 census entry for Robert Jones  born 1806 Bristol

I think he married a Elizabeth Martin in 1829 I have not proven that yet.

His family were bakers and Corn Factors so I am pretty sure he is a baker.

There is similar person "Robert Jones and Elizabeth Jones" he shown as a laborer.
this Robert Jones was recorded in  the 1851 census.

The Robert Jones I am after is my 4th great Uncle he died in 1848  he is buried in Bristol.

Regards

What were the names of his children?
Sometimes families can be found using the children's names instead of the parents, due to mistranscriptions.

Thank you all for your help

I still not have found the Census entry but still looking.

But I can tell you Robert  Jones did marry "Elizabeth Martin" her father was "Joseph Martin" from the
OLD Duke pub King Street Bristol

No one is questioning the marriage to Elizabeth Martin, she would be his first wife. From the will she must have died before 1845 when he married again as a widower.
