Hello List...
I am new to this list and am not sure if I am on the correct one. I am looking for
census information on my grandmothers family. She was from Ffestinog in Wales. If there is
anyone who could look up in the 1881 census the following family:
Father : John Owen Jones age ?? b:Ffestinog, Wales
Mother: Elizabeth Pritchard Jones age ?? b: Wales
Son : Robert Jones age ?? b. Wales
Son: John D Jones age ?? b. Wales
Daughter: Mary Jane Jones age 2 or 3 b. Ffestinog, Wales
Son Hugh Jones age 1 b. Wales
I would appreciate any information that anyone can give me. Thanks........
Dear Bob,
Based on a search for 'Mary Jane JONES; born 1879 +/- 1 year' in Festiniog,
MER', this was
the only family with parents John & Elizabeth. The PRITCHARD name seems to fit, too,
although the enumerator or transcriber cannot distinguish between 'Son-in-law'
&
'Daughter-in-lw'! Quite interesting ...
