Hi Lyn, The Cornish lists may not be the best place to look for information on people from Wales, but that said, check out www.familysearch.org There is a baptism record from the Flintshire parish records (including a link to the image on paid site FindMyPast) for a James SHONE baptised December 4, 1825 in Hanmer, Flintshire, Wales. Assuming he was an infant, that would make his age appear in census and the like as if he were born in 1826. Parents were James & Mary. Potential siblings for James, all christened in Hanmer: Elizabeth (christened April 30, 1815) John (December 22, 1817) Ann (November 29, 1818) Thomas March 25, 1821) Samuel (October 7, 1833) Marriage of James SHONE and Mary LEE on December 29, 1814 (recorded in Hanmer and Bronington, Flintshire). Also on familysearch is data from the 1841 census showing that James was then aged 15-19 and living in Hanmer. James (the elder) appears on the 1841 (aged 46) and 1851 (aged 56) census in Hanmer. By 1861 census, he was still in Hanmer, aged 70! 1871 census of Hamner shows James SHONE (76) living with daughter Ann (50), son Edward (35) and grandchildren William HOLBROOK (25) and Mary HOLBROOK (21), both born Whitehurst, Shropshire. FreeBMD has the death registration for a James SHONE listed as March quarter, 1879, aged 83, registration district of Ellesmere, Vol. 6a page 618. >From his age in the census entries, that would put the birth of James SHONE (the elder) at about 1795. Familysearch site has the baptism (again with link to FindMyPast) of a James SHONE on April 26, 1795 in Hanmer. Son of James & Elizabeth.
