Help to find a Jones please

[Joan of Archives]

Sorry!

Henry William Jones married a Mary Freeman in Suffolk (Blything) in 1842.

Now he may be known as William Jones on the 1841, or else his brother is William

Mother is Susanna Jones for ref 1841 :

Class: HO107; Piece 1017; Book: 12; Civil Parish: Yoxford; County: Suffolk; Enumeration District: 9; Folio: 15; Page: 23;

Susanna was born in Dawlish Devon, & the first two children on the 1841 census Elizabeth & Eliza were born in Starcross Devon.
However poor Susanna was a widow by 1840 with 9 children according to the Ipswich papers, her husband William Jones was a coachman so I have no idea where he was born (I'm sorry lol) There was another son Benjamin who was born in Yoxford.

I want to trace Charles Jones b. abt 1831 and Henry William b. approx 1822-25.

As Susanna was a schoolteacher I think Henry may have been the same but I am not sure. Another son Edward ended up in London after leaving Suffolk, as did Benjamin.

Where is Henry William Jones 1851 onwards? Where was he born? It wasn't Wales I would dearly like to find where he was born, as I don't even know where William snr & Susanna married, there is no record of a marriage in Devon.

Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jo

Have you got the William death cert? This looks a possibility as Yoxford comes under Blything.

According to the 1841 census the next three children, William, Mary and Charles were all born out of County too. Only Edward and Thomas were born in County.

I am getting really confused now If Susanna was a widow by 1840 how did Benjamin manage to be born later? The one I've found was born in 1842!!

How old is Henry William on his marriage cert in 1842?

No my Benjamin was born around 1835, he is with another household in 1841, I don't know why?

Here he is in 1851 :

It looks like William died. There is a burial at Yoxford.

Oh dear! Thanks Glen.

I think I found Henry as Harry in 1871 :

Class: RG10; Piece: 853; Folio: 36; Page: 25; GSU roll: 827761.

With a Flintoff & Susanna Jones born in Dawlish which is the right one. No where was Henry born? Gloucestershire? Hanbrook? Any opinions anyone?

[Oakum Picker]

Looks like Hanbrook but can't see such a place. There is a Hambrook on the outskirts of Bristol.

Thanks Glen. I wonder where on earth Susanna Wills married William Jones then?? There is a marriage in 1822 in London, but it doesn't appear in the LMA records online

I am on a roll lol!

I found Thomas & Edward both marrying in London, & my 2 x great granddad was witness on both marriages

For some reason both of them forgot to mention that their father William was deceased by 1857 & 1872 (when they married) & whilst the father was a "Coach Proprietor" in 1857 he had suddenly become a "Gentleman" by 1872 even though he had died in 1839

The moral is don't believe everything that is on a marriage certificate lol!
