I've just been researching my wife's family from Sutton in Ashfield, and was tracing the siblings of her grandmother, Lilian Sansom. One of Lilian's sisters, with the delightful name of Adeline, married an Edward Jones in 1896 in Sutton. He, like his father, was born in Flintshire, North Wales, but his family had latterly been living in Fenton, Stoke on Trent, the home town of his mother. Edward obviously took his wife back there, as they are on the 1901 census in Fenton, with Edward's occupation shown as a "Musical Director". It's always intrigued me how people from different parts of the country meet and then marry, and Edward's occupation may explain why he met Adeline in Sutton. I then traced Edward back to the 1891 census in Fenton to double check his birthplace, which was not clear on the 1901 census, and found that he came from an extremely large family. His parents, John and Jane Jones were recorded with 13 children. Not unusual you might say, but amongst these 13 were 2 sets of twins, and one set of triplets! I then found John and Jane on the 1901 census and discovered that they had had another 2 children, making 15 in total! On the 1911 census John was married to another Jane, his first wife having died - probably from exhaustion! I would be interested in sharing information with anyone researching the SANSOM name from Sutton in Ashfield. Brian Binns _____ No virus found in this message.
