Good morning from Australia,
I wonder if someone could solve a problem for me please.
My elusive Jones/Evans gggranparents after many years search have been traced to Sirhowy
in 1851 census.
Richard Jones 44 stonemason
Mary jones 38 wife
Thomas 14 stonemason
Richard 12
John 10
William jones lodger 30
Thomas Davies lidger 28 miner
all lived in 142,Five Rows,Sirhowy.
I cannot find Richard and wife in 1861 census,he was declared deceased on his sons wedding
certificate in 1860 when Thomas Jones and sarah Evans were married in Siloh Baptist
,Sirhowy.
Could some kind person tell me please where they may have been buried and was there some
"unpleasant" disease circulating in the area at this time.
Thomas became a laypreacher and I am wondering if Richard may have been the same!!!! in
Sirhowy,at that time
Any input would be gratefully received
