Wow Joan. I have searched for months and I don't know why I didn't see these.........Especially Eliza born 1825 with husband John. That one is very possible.

Eliza is shown as a Boatman's wife, born in Ireland, living in Birkenhead with her brother-in-law George Blain and his family. Age could be a bit out though. In 1851 there is also an Eliza b 1825 in Ireland living in Liverpool (just across the river from Birkenhead) with husband John, Piece 2181 Folio 265 Page 82 Joan From: Margaret Cambridge <talktomarg@shaw.ca> To: Cheshire List <cheshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, 28 February 2014, 20:16 Subject: [CHS] Mother of Henry JONES b 1850 Birkenhead I put out a lot of info on my Henry JONES family a while back and received a great deal of assistance for which I am very appreciative. In 1891 Henry JONES, born 1850, Birkenhead, team owner, is found at 10 Waterloo Place, Birkenhead. With him are 3 of his sons; William, b abt 1871, Henry, b abt 1874 and John, b abt 1875. In 1901 Henry's 3 sons are living with their grandmother, Eliza JONES, a 75 year old widow at 30 Dacre Street, Birkenhead. Also living with Eliza are her sons Edward, b 1864, and George, b 1872, Birkenhead. Eliza is recorded as being born in Ireland. In 1881 this Eliza Jones, widow, 55, is at 2 Swan Court, Birkenhead with sons Edward, 17, Boilermaker Apprentice, and George, 9. Eliza is said to be born in Ireland. In 1891 Eliza has her son George, 19, boilermaker's labourer, in the home at 41 Wellington Street, Birkenhead. If this is the right Eliza she says she is born in Birkenhead. I'm trying to find Eliza JONES prior to 1881. I have found an Eliza with husband Edward JONES in 1861 in Hoole, and 1871 in Chester who looks possible but this one is born in Flintshire. I don't know whether I should scrap this one. If anyone has time and would like a challenge I would really appreciate your help in trying to find Eliza.
