    1. [DBY] More about Phyllis Mary BIRCH
    2. Joy Hungerford
    3. In my search for the parents of Phyllis Mary BIRCH, four-year-old niece, living with my GU, Benjamin Henry POUNTAIN, in 1911, I've found a note on a Hasland marriage, which I made because Ben Henry was a witness:- Jun-1903 Frederick Brufton BIRCH   bachelor   Catherine JONES  Hasland spinster   Fathers:- Thomas BIRCH  Charles JONES  Wits:- Ben Henry POUNTAIN  Edith Mary BIRCH (Fred’s sister) I made this note long before I knew that Ben had married Margaret Ann JONES. As Charles JONES is named as the bride's father, not only for Catherine, but also for Margaret Ann, it's logical to assume they were sisters, and therefore that a daughter of Frederick and Catherine would be Margaret's niece. Frederick, b 1877 Cheshire, died abt Oct 1908, Chesterfield, when Phyllis, b abt Oct 1906, was two. The next I hear about Phyllis is her Chesterfield marriage to George RODDIS in 1942. I can't find anything about Margaret Ann and Catherine, daughters of Charles JONES, in either 1881 or 1891. I would expect them to be with their family in Bagillt, FLN. I’d like to know what happened to Catherine. I can’t find a death or remarriage for her. I don't often spend a lot of time on a non-relative, but Phyllis and her family intrigue me. Kind regards Joy
