Hello Shanna It would definitely be Tumble . You didn't say how old Lettice was when she died. Did it also give her maiden name? Meanwhile I believe I have them in the 1841 census. 1841 parish of Llannon enumerstion dist 15 "All that part of the parish of Llannon which lies on the north side of the road leading from Cross Hands to Tumble" Page 1 Bank y Tumble John Jones 35 Collier Y Lettice Jones 55 Y Ann Maddox 15 F.S. Y Note in 1841 the ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 years. Hope helps you a bit - how do you link in to these?

Answering below . . . . Subject: Re: [Cmn-L] JONES haystack Hello Shanna It would definitely be Tumble . You didn't say how old Lettice was when she died. [Shanna Jones] Lettice Jones was 66 years old. Did it also give her maiden name? [Shanna Jones] No maiden name - just Lettice Jones Meanwhile I believe I have them in the 1841 census. 1841 parish of Llannon enumerstion dist 15 "All that part of the parish of Llannon which lies on the north side of the road leading from Cross Hands to Tumble" Page 1 Bank y Tumble John Jones 35 Collier Y Lettice Jones 55 Y Ann Maddox 15 F.S. Y [Shanna Jones] What is F.S.? I wonder if this John Jones is a son and where the husband is? Note in 1841 the ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 years. Hope helps you a bit - how do you link in to these? [Shanna Jones] Henry Jones is their son, who was married to Mary Davis (but I don't know where or when). They immigrated to Ohio, USA in about 1852-1855? Thanks!
