How marvellous for you to find all this information with a Jones name, Julie - wish I could do the same with mine! Marged Hi there - I recently started looking through 19th Century British library newspapers online & found some wonderful information regarding my ancestors. I'm related to the Jones fishing family of Hoylake & found several items mentioning members of the family. This is one I found from The Liverpool Mercury , Friday July 11: "July 1, aged 103, Elizabeth Jones, widow of the late Peter Jones, of Hoylake. She has left between 200 & 300 grandchildren & great-grandchildren." Another news item mentioned a riot in Bangor, North Wales in 1841, caused by drunken fishermen from Hoylake & Liverpool, & I found my 3x great grandfather Samuel Jones, along with William Eccles, commended for bravery when he helped rescue a sinking Belgian vessel & saved several lives.
