Thanks for the above message. I now know that Edward Jones the gunsmith, was Edward Jones
the painters father.
This is what I know:
Mary Woolley/Wooley and Edward Jones were married in Chester on 2nd October 1831.The
witnesses were Martha Wooley and John Almond. Edward Jones was a gunmaker.
(Mary's birthplace is listed on some of the following census records as being in
Aldford, Cheshire.)
In the 1841 census they were at Upper Northgate St, Chester St Oswald, Cheshire,
England:Edward Jones 30 Gun maker,Mary Jones 25,Anne Jones 7,Arthur Jones 5, Mary Jones 3,
Martha Jones 1, William Woolley 15 Carver & Guilder
In the 1851 census at Booth's Court, Chester St Oswald, Cheshire, England

How do I look for an Edward Jones born in about 1809 in the Chester St Oswald area?
(We believe that the family may have come originally from Denbighshire.)
