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
