If anyone has access to the 1861 census for Llansamlet and is willing to take a look for me, I'd be much obliged. I am looking for this family: John JONES, head [wife may be Sarah, age 39] David, age 5 Catherine, age 7 Jennet, age 9 Ages should be close. There may be other children. The three children listed were born in Llansamlet. -- Chris Clark [g-grandson of Catherine] South Bend, Indiana, USA

Perhaps you'd have more luck on the GLAMORGAN List @ rootsweb.

Hi.Chris. Though I am not able to assist you in your search for the "John Jones" you are enquiring about, I have an amusing thought. My name is John Jones too, the only other "John Jones" I have so fa discovered in my treeis my gt.gt.gt Grandfather. He was a "John Jones" of Swansea my line comes down via his son "William Jones", now I have only discovered 1 other son to "John Jones" so far and he was a "David". I am sure there must have been a "John" too, and that if there was a "John" then he would have probably had a sone named "John" who may or may not have been your "John Jones" because the family also moved up valley generation to generation. What brings a smile is the fact that you are seeking for a namesake of mine that could be relative of mine, and you live in South Bend, Indiana which is just a few miles from where I met my wife :-) We lived in Bristol nr. SB for a year before coming back to Wales in 1988. What a small and strange world this truly is. Much success in your searches.

1861 census folio 60 p15 - Foxhole, Llansamlet John JONES Head 41 Copper Refiner b Glam Llansamlet Sarah wife 37 b Glam Swansea Jennet daur 9 Catherine daur 6 David son 5 all b Glam Llansamlet No other children. I found two other John JONES heads of families, both Coal Miners, but the rest of the details did not match. Given where he lived, I would hazard a guess that he worked at Upper Bank, Middle Bank or White Rock copper works, all three of which were active in 1851, the nearest date I have details of.
