Cari,
The LDS IGI shows the following baptism entry -- a good bet this is your
Harriet. It would be fairly easy to order her birth certificate directly
from the Supt. Registrar covering this area. Additionally, if you have an
LDS FHC near you, you can order the B(ishop's) T(ranscript)'s for the parish
of Bagillt, Flintshire -- LDS microfilm #0104772 from which this entry was
taken --- and look for her parents' marriage. If not found, the parish of
Bagillt was formed around 1839 from the parish of Treffynnon (Holywell), so
you should also order the BT's for Holywell to trace Harriet's family back
further. Once you know where they lived, you can also order the 1841 census
for Bagillt and find the family. If they were still there in 1851, you'll
know where her parents were born by finding them in the 1851 Census but it's
possible they may have moved to Liverpool by that time.

Using the Batch number in the source above, I searched the online IGI and
found the following entries (same source) these would appear to be siblings
of Harriet's -- there were no further christenings of children of this
couple after Anne in 1845. I would definitely look for the BT's for
Holywell for earlier children and, most likely, for the marriage of Joseph &
Sarah. By the way, there were other Joseph JONES' in Bagillt at the same
time -- one married to a Jemima, another married to an Ann, etc.

Hello - I`m new to this list. Have been researching my FH for a few
years
but
am only just getting around to my Jones` - have been putting it off
due to
discovering my gt.gt.grandfather Robert Jones married Harriet Jones in
1868.
Now I`m going to give it a go.
Robert`s father was Thomas Jones, farmer. According to various census
returns
in Liverpool Robert was born Flintshire(1851), Llanfechan Wales
(1871),
Cae
(1881).
Harriet is down as Flint. in both 1871/81. Her father was Joseph Jones -
Smelter.
Robert was born c.1833 and Harriet c. 1839.
If anyone can give any guidance I`d be most grateful.
Many thanks
Cari
