    1. [CHS] Surname JONES of Birkenhead...Help needed
    2. Margaret Cambridge
    3. I could sure use another pair of eyes to help sort me out if someone enjoys a challenge. Henry JONES, a Team owner, born about 1850 Birkenhead, married Mary ? and had 3 sons William, b abt 1871, Henry, b abt 1874, and John, b abt 1875 all born Birkenhead. In the 1881 census Henry is a Marine Store Dealer and his 3 sons are in the home in Birkenhead. In 1891 Henry is a widower, Team Owner. and his 3 sons are living with him in Birkenhead. In 1901 the 3 sons William, 30, Henry, 27, and John, 25, are found living in Birkenhead with their grandmother Eliza JONES who is a 75 year old widow, Seamstress, born Ireland. Also in the home are 2 of her sons, Edward and George. In 1901 I find who I believe may be Henry, Sr., 52, team owner, b Birkenhead with a second wife Mary or May and 3 more children, Victor, Stanley and Catherine. I have found the grandmother Eliza JONES in 1881 living at 2 Swan Court, Birkenhead, a widow, 55, born Ireland. Living with her are Edward and George. Also in 1891 with her son George but now she says she is born in Birkenhead.......so this may be the wrong Eliza. I am unable to find Henry JONES, b abt 1850 or Eliza JONES, abt 1826 before 1881. Having the name JONES certainly creates a challenge. Thank you for any assistance anyone can give. Marg >From the Beautiful British Columbia Cariboo Region, Canada
