Going to call it a night now Gail. Thankyou so much for spending time this evening helping me. I WILL NOT BE BEATEN by my JONES !!! will let you know if i find anymore info Merry Xmas Christine

Hi Christine I cannot see them either, have checked name variations as well. Will keep having a trawl about. You deserve some Comfort after all this, Gail.

Gail , I've just checked again 1868 69 70 marriages no luck. I'm even checking RoDgers as well now! I HOPE that is the correct Fanny with a mother called Comfort ! she might be a bit easier to trace !!

Hi Christine I saw that one as well, I will bet my xmas box (well maybe not) on this being Fanny Rogers in 1861 Fanny Rogers Age: 14 Estimated birth year: abt 1847 Relation: Daughter Father's name: Thomas Mother's name: Comfort Gender: Female Where born: Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England Civil parish: St Chad Ecclesiastical parish: St George Town: Shrewsbury County/Island: Shropshire Country: England Registration district: Shrewsbury Sub-registration district: St Chad ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Household schedule number: 131 Abner Rogers 25 Amelia Rogers 16 Comfort Rogers 50 Fanny Rogers 14 Kate Rogers 12 Thomas Rogers 51 Head Thomas Rogers 10 Source Citation: Class: RG9; Piece: 1873; Folio: 115; Page: 25; GSU roll: 542880. But I just cannot find that marriage.................so that any of this can be confirmed. Gail.

Thanks Gail and June FOR YOUR HELP. O n my g grandmothers birth cert it states mother Fanny Jones Formerly Rogers. I DON'T know if Francis was often changed to Fanny? I had Alice on 1871 census but born 1867 have only just looked at image and can now see that she was actually only 4 or 7 months. So i might have been looking for the marriage too early. Will just have a another look at 1869 70 71. Have just found an Edwrd on 1861 census with father as thomas jones 1814 shrewsbury but edward is some sort of painter not shoe maker ?

Hi Christine what info do have on your family ? June x

yes found him as looking at births lol i agree with Keith June x

Hi June No he is there just have to keep scrolling through, he appears eventually, as Keith says tho' the others do say 1149. Gail x

Omg Gail just checked ancestry image Edward Jones not there ? lol or am i going blind June x

The other three on Edwards page are definantely 6a 1149

Hi I thank my lucky stars for my unusual birth surname, It has made life very easy for me - don't think I would get very far otherwise. Gail.

Fanny Rogers number correct. But I think the Edward Jones that June put on - the actual image could say 1140. What do you think June? Different numbers though. Gail.
