1851 Lookup Glamorgan Jones but with London connection
« on: Tuesday 18 October 05 23:07 BST (UK) »

OK so looking for Jones in Wales is a needle in a haystack  ::) . . . BUT . . . the wife was born in Islington and the son William in London, Middlesex (which was given as Finsbury in a latter census). . . . so that makes it “easier”

Looking for the following family in 1851 in Wales . . . probably a Cardiff address.

They appeared as follows in the 1861 CENSUS

Address (Number of Schedule 124) Caroline Street (St. Mary), Cardiff, Glamorgan   
Noah Jones   Head   45   born Cardiff, Glamorgan   Builder and Valuer
Sarah   Wife   43   born Islington, Middlesex
Mary   daughter   18   born Cardiff, Glamorgan   Dressmaker
Matthew   son   17   born Cardiff, Glamorgan   Sawyers Clerk
Arthur   son   14   born Cardiff, Glamorgan   Sawyers Clerk
William   son   13   born London, Middlesex   Sawyers Clerk
Richard   son   11   born Cardiff, Glamorgan   Scholar
Sydney   son  7   born Cardiff, Glamorgan Scholar

Strewth - that was rapid!

Thanks so much for the information.

It looks as though they tried to de-anglicize William by changing his birth place.  :)
