I don't know which of Ann's children is your ancestor, but obviously you need one of the birth certs to get her maiden surname. I can see there's only one fit for Grace, so it might be safest to get that one:

Births Dec 1871
Jones Grace Merthyr T. 11a 392

I think you are right Merry - it is Catherine who is the direct line (of my son in law.......this is for his Crimbo prezzie). That is the only way forward, because it is impossible otherwise

I have already spent a fortune on this tree which is worrying because it means that I shall have to spend the same amount on my daughter

Tell your daughter the certs for her husband cost £3.50 each and you can get her a cheaper pressie! lol

Sneaky!!!! I like it

Don't you just hate it when that happens - looked for Ann under her newly discovered maiden name of Harris in 1851 and there she was.........a flipping visitor!!! No help with parents there then.

It may be purely coincedence, but the farm that she is visiting has several Jones working there - so am going to see if they are connected to her future husband

Ann ? ? ....hmmm sure I've got her in my tree somewhere... lol!

*swoons (as we are back in the 1800s fainting is not appropriate) at the sight of my old boyfriend.

Nana Anna · #9 30-09-10, 19:18

*tucks smelling salts back in George's boxers lol

Merry · #10 30-09-10, 21:48

lol!!

I don't know how the GRO works now.....we don't know that those people married each other in 1863 as either of them may have married any of the others (of the opposite sex!) with the same page number. In the past you could have had the GRO check for a few £s and not send it if they didn't marry each other, but it's different now I think?

Maybe someone else can confirm????
