Thanks, Nancy Hagen-Liddle > Nancy---I know these aren't the names you are looking for, but here is what I came up with in my family database---they may or may not help, but you never know. I have (none in my direct line): 1) Evan A. JONES, b. May 1872 in PA. According to the census, both his parents were born in Wales. He was a steelworker and lived on Fisher Hill Street in Sharon and also in Sharpsville at one point. He married Vera M. LUCE (1878-1911) (my 3G Aunt, dau. of Josiah LUCE & Margaret ORR) in 1895. They had two children: Ruth (1900-1923), married Leo J. CURTAIN, two children, Robert & James; Stanley (1902-). (Incidentally---I am interested in finding out more about the descendants of the family of Evan JONES & Vera LUCE, if anyone knows of it). 2) Catherine JONES, b. 17 Mar 1862 in Wales; d. 16 Dec 1929 in Sharon. She married Charles James (Charlie) LANGLEY (my 3G uncle, son of James S. LANGLEY & Jane UPPINGTON) (1862-1953) in 1892 in Sharon. If any of this is familiar to you, let me know and I'll see what else I can find. Good luck to you!
