Hello Dave,
How are you? I can not thank you enough. I do not believe that you found my JONES family
so quickly after I have been searching for yonks. My only clues to the family were from a
book called the BISA (Biographical Index of South Australia) which listed Humphrey as
being born in Glamorgan with a question mark next to his name. Shipping records gave me no
clue but I knew they had to be somewhere on the 1861 Census. It was just a matter of me
getting a chance to look at it or coming across someone like yourself. I now have another
branch to work on.
My great grandmother mustn't been far of though, 1861 is given as her birth on a few
records in South Australia.
Again I cannot thank you enough, you have opened up a new world of searching.
Bye for now,
