Hi Phil,
Thank you for your response. Jonathan married a Jane (either Evans or Richards) hence my
hoping to see the original marriage record. According to freebmd (rootsweb) June quarter
1838 Swansea 26 723.
However Phil I have an apology, Jonathan was not born Swansea but Newcastle Upon Tyne. No
wonder you couldn't find a birth, with all the trouble you have gone to, I have
smacked my own hand.
His wife and some of the children where born Swansea before moving to Newcastle Upon Tyne.
According to the 1851 Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland the family there during
that census with Jonathan away at sea.
The children born Swansea where according to 1851 census Newcastle Upon Tyne
Thomas 1841, Margaret (unsure) and Jonathan 1840
One main problem I have is not knowing the last name of Jane who married Jonathan. Thats
the reason I was hoping to see the actual marriage record or maybe Bishops transcripts and
so on.
I am asuming that Jonathan met his Jane while busy about his work as a seaman. I can't
find any family connection that would take him to Wales.
Thank you again Phil.I will follow your advice on the Ancestry census.
I was smiling when you made all those comments about yourself......me to!
I feel I should have explained better..........
Anne
