Len, is this your father's father's father's mother, for Take one 2xgreat-grandparent? If it is then I can move it over to the new board for you.

In 1841 Emma's younger sister is 5mths old. As the census was taken in June this is the most likely birth reg:

Name: Ann Jones
Year of Registration: 1841
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Hereford
County: Herefordshire, Hereford and Worcester, Monmouthshire
Volume: 26
Page: 173

though there is another one in the last Q of 1840 (possible if the child was almost 7 months). The right birth cert would obviously give you the details of the mother's maiden surname.

Ah, looking at your week 8 entry for Take One Great-Grandparent, Len, it looks as though this lady was his wife, so not a 2xg-grandparent. If you want to take part in Take One 2xG-Grandparent, your thread for this week (week 1) should be about Ann Watkins, Len.

No, its my father's fathers' mother. I knew she would be trouble. Should never have let Margaret in Burton talk me into making the entry. Best delete it.

Oh go on Len

Michael has loads of Jones' in Wales.

One of mine is a Smith and I fully intend to post her details when the time comes.

Thank you for some very useful information, Merry, particularly about siblings. I have printed out your replies and will look at them in depth shortly. Life has been a bit hectic this week, running OH to & from out-patients after having been confined to barracks (snow-clogged) for a week.
