[Zoemcdougall]

Looking for info on my 3x greatgrand parents , Robert and Susannah, think Robert was b.1791, Susannah not sure of birth. 1796? their Son Ishmael b.1825/6 Caerwys,(GG Grandfather) not sure of anyother siblings,
Would like help to find out the names of Robert & Susannah Parents too.

Ishmael Married to a Prudence Parry, had about 6/7 children, one being my great grandfather Edward Owen Jones.

Thankyou

Where did they live, please?

Ah, this is Ishmael and Prudence with son Edward in 1881:

Pen y Waen, Llanasa, Flintshire
Ishmael Jones Head Mar 55 Book keeper Clerk Flintshire Caerwys
Prudence Do Wife Mar 41 Do Llanasa
William P Do Son 10 Scholar Do Do
Edward O Do Son 8 Do Do Do
Agnes Do Daur 5 Do Do
Ishmael Do Son 4 Do Do

So, working backwards:

1871 Old Chapel House, Llanasa
Ishmael Jones Head Mar 43 Book-keeper Flintshire Caerwys
Prudence Jones Wife Mar 31 Do Llanasa
Robert Jones Son 13 Scholar Do Whitford
Mary E Do Daur 10 Do Do Do
Ellen Do Do 10 Do Do Do
Caroline Do Do 5 Do Lancashire Wigan
William P Jones Son 5 mo Flintshire Llanasa

Ishmael and Prudence's marriage looks likely to be Jul-Sep 1864 Holywell district (the district for Llanasa) but Prudence's surname is Davies on the index - was she married before?

Not found any of them in 1861 yet. This looks to be Ishmael in 1851 with his first wife:

10 Gauden(?) Road, Bychton, Flintshire
Ishmael Jones Head Mar 27 Clerk Flintshire Caerwys
Mary Do Wife Mar 31 Do Whitford
Ann Do Daur 6 Scholar Do Do
Margaret Do Daur 1 Do Do

Next door at number 11 there is this family:
Robert Jones Head Mar 64 Agent in the colliery Do Flint
Mary Do Wife Mar 63 Do Mold
Edward Do Son U 36 Coal Miner Do Flint
Robert Do Son U 25 Do Do Do
William Do Son U 21 Do Do Do

Could be Ishmael's family?

[Zoemcdougall]

Sorry it was Davies Not Parry, thankyou so much for your help. I think Ishmael's Father Robert was a butcher but not certain on that

[Zoemcdougall]

I haven't heard Gauden, but have heard of Caerwys

Likely baptism for Ishmael on FamilySearch, which I expect you have already seen:

Ismael Jones born 21 Feb 1823, baptised 25 Feb 1823 Calvinistic Methodist, Caerwys, Flint, Wales, parents Robt Jones and Susanah Owens.

Hmm, I think there was an Owens family the other side of Ishmael's family in 1851.

[kiterunner]

Of course that Robert Jones next door to Ishmael on the census could be no relation as there are so many Joneses about.

Doesn't Ishmael's marriage certificate give his father's occupation?
