Help to find a Jones please

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?

And Benjamin in 1841 :

That is my William's death in 1839, he drove the Shannon coach between Yoxford & Devon I haven't got his death certificate yet it's on my shopping list but I have the obituary from the Ipswich paper mentioning how well loved he was & his poor widow left with 11 children to support

[Joan of Archives]

"On 25th instant after a lingering illness of nearly 14 months Mr William Jones of Yoxford, driver of the Shannon coach. His death is deeply regretted by a large circle of friends, and he has left a widow & 11 children, totally unprovided for to deplore their loss."

There was a daughter Ellen, who was born 1839 & died in 1840 before the 1841 census. That still leaves 10 other children I think Charles was the last one born elsewhere so they must have arrived in Yoxford around 1835.

LOL Kite

LOL Jo - I have to go now but I will have another look later if someone hasn't solved it all

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