there is no such thing as "the" JONES family
because like my own patronymic Watkins
99.999% are unrelated
Jones = son of John which is a popular name in all christian commuities

G'day List
I am one of the many Jones descendants from the Eastern Valley. My great grandfather
Edwin Jones has proved to be a bit of a brick wall so I'm asking for help. On the 1881
Census he is living in 52 Snatchwood Road, Abersychan, a railway guard, aged 35, born Mon,
Trevethin with his wife Martha and their 3 children, the youngest of whom is my
grandmother, Martha whose birth certificate I have
I'm OK with that but where it gets a bit fuzzy is with the previous census results.
In the 1871 Census, I have the enumerator's copy on which an Edwin Jones and his wife
Martha are listed as Lodgers at Upper Tip? House. Edwin is 26, Married, Engineer, born
Mon, Gardiffaith with his wife Martha, aged 26, no profession, whose birthplace is
illegible on my copy. The ages are about right, they have no children which is correct as
Emma, their first child would not be born until 1873. Does "engineer" cover
Railway guard or is it somebody else?
Currently I'm invesigating the two previous censuses, I think I've found him on
the 1851 but not yet on the 1861. Is there anyone on the list who's looking at the
same family. I'd like to get in touch off-list if there is to clear up a few problems
with his later life.
