Hi Jill, I have the same problem My mother was a Thomas My grandmother was a Jones my greatgrand father was a Thomas who married a Jones My aunt a Jones married a Jones As you say very confusing All from the Rhondda valley cheers Dianne -----Original Message----- From: Jill Muir Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 5:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [GLA] Too many JONES OT I have just discovered, if my findings are correct though pretty certain that they are, that not only do I have a John James JONES who married a Mary JONES, they at one time of Merthyr Tydfil, and a John JONES of Cadoxton Juxta Neath. I have just found his brother Jenkin JONES who married another JONES - being Elizabeth JONES both of Cadoxton juxta Neath. Oh bother the Jones! Sorting them out is truly hard as, as usual they named their children the same given names, in true Welsh fashion. It is Jenkin who in 1841 census was living with Elizabeth at Pencriag yr afon, Cadoxton Juxta Neath, and who was at Tyla Nant, Cadoxton Juxta Neath, Neath Higher 1851 census that I enquired about earlier. By 1861 they had upped sticks again and lived at Plas y nant, Cadoxton Juxta Neath.
