Jeanne,
Yep...at the number of Jones families in Wales, if you are searching for a
Jones you have need of prayer! ;P~
I have been able to find the Jones line I am researching back as far as 1841
only because my fiance was born in Liverpool and vaguely remembers his
greatgrandfather.
When we go to visit hopefully later this year, I hope to have more info to
go on when I get there...if not at least find some info once I do get there.
Lainee

Subject: [DEN] Jane Agnes JONES, daughter of Laura DAVIS/DAVIES & ?? JONES
in Wales - Lord help me!!!
Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2003 09:49:52 -0800
I am looking for family information on my Great Grandmother, Jane Agnes
JONES (who married James Begley in Brooklyn, New York, USA). We have
extremely limited information on her. What we do know is that: she was
originally from Wales, family lore says "she was born October 07, 1818 in
Wales, and then came to the United States with her mother in early girlhood"
(although a census report indicates she came to the USA in 1843).
We are told her mother's name was Laura Davis/Davies (we have assumed that
this was her maiden name). Do not know her father's name. We know that Jane
Agnes JONES worked in a fur shop in Brooklyn before she married my Great
Grandfather on January 14, 1844 at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Brooklyn.
We do not know where in Wales Jane Agnes came from, what her father's name
was, or if she had any siblings. We have, thus far, been unable to determine
how to find information on her family. Any help in finding information on
Jane Agnes Jones and her family in Wales would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for any help that you might be able to offer in my seemingly
exhaustively hopeless search for information of my Great Grandmother Jane
Agnes JONES in Wales,
Jeanne
