    1. [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] Martha LEE, Westhoughton
    2. Susan Williams
    3. Looking for info. on Martha LEE of St Bartholomew, Westhoughton who married William JONES in Brymbo, Denbighshire, N. Wales in 1874. The marriage entry shows that Martha was a spinster of full age and the daughter of William LEE Brick Maker. The 1881 Brymbo census shows Matha JONES born 1856 and 2 children Edith L JONES 1875 and William JONES 1879 all born Westhoughton as visitors of William JONES born 1848 Brymbo and his father Samuel JONES. This Martha and children may be the family of William JONES and the person taking the census wanted to show that they were only visitors and not permanent residents of Brymbo. I’ve been unable to find William or Martha on any census post 1881 and it is possible that they emigrated to Edwardsville, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA., since some of William’s cousins had emigrated out there a few years previously. US census and death records however give a range of birth dates for Martha JONES between 1839 and 1852.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
