Find Ancestors

Looking for any help or info regarding my great-grandfathers family. he was born john 1865 in cardiff ,wales and married elizabeth chambers born in 1867 they lived together in jarrow and had 3 daughters, Sally(sarah) margaret (my granny born 1891) and lily.
I have no info on his side at all and would dearly love to track the welsh side of my family. although hubby is on 4 day week and at moment unable to fund

any help greatly appreciated

John who?

told you i was having a breakdown.....JONES thats whats causing the stick bit, there seems to be 1 or 2 of them

I dont know about you having a breakdown,I think we might if you dont tell us the surname of John,the suspenders are killing us !

Jones,Evans or Davies maybe !

I really wish you luck here cos that's what you are going to need with a Welsh John Jones - I live in Cardiff and I know that if I look in the telephone directory there will be pages of them - the census has shed loads of them - sorry to be a doom merchant, but that's the wy it is

What is the name and occupation of his father on his marriage cert?and what is his occupation please?

Are the witnesses any of his family on his marriage cert?

Without the marriage cert I think its pretty much a lost cause !

Jones Viv - Jones!!!!!!!

Thank you Ann ,I think I have it now !

Marguerita..

Can you give us a census with the family on please?1891 or 1901?

I think Marguerita must have made an error with his dob, as he'd be a bit young in 1880. Not impossible, but unlikely.

Ozi

Well I give up,without knowing a correct family for sure on a census its just guessing.

Where did that Margaret Jones aged 18 in 1901 on your lot spring from Ozi?shouldnt that be Sarah?
And where is Margaret born 1891?

thank you all for getting back so soon..... the liddell terrace info for 1901 census is accurate, and it does look like that his birth year must have been different, will do another check shortly to see what info i do have already.
also 1891 census below for jarrow also correct.

so thanks again and i will what else I have. but i do know i dont have john jones marriage cert to elizabeth chambers ,sorry

Dunno! She could be an elder sister. There is a year between them.

Ozi

just to add 1891 cenus for jarow states sara 7 but she was 17 and granny was born just after the 1891 was taken so not on list, hope this helps
regards marguerita

If granny Margaret was born 1891 how can this be her in 1901?Am I missing something?
The image does say age 18,domestic servant.

?????????

yes its strange granny would have been classed as 9 in the 1901 census I do have her birth cert so hers is accurate, the rest my mum told me about her older sisters, but i have noticed the errors on listings after all it says Sarah 7 and she the oldest at 17
thanks again

She isnt down as 9 in 1901,shes down as 18,born in 1883!
Are you sure this is the correct family?
