Henry Jones (Born Ca 1840) - Crown Woodman - Marion's Lodge (General)

Hi

Henry Jones, above, is my wife's Great Great Grandfather. He shows up in 1841 - 1901 censuses as first a woodman and later as Crown Woodman living at Marion's lodge from 1881 - 1901. He was the enumerator for 81,91,01 censuses Newland district 2 / 3.

According to his marriage certificate (1860 to Ruth Davies) his father was John Jones and his wife's father was John Davies (Witnesses Dinah and Benjamin Jones).

However because Henry Jones seems to be a common name in the area I am having trouble pinning his history down much further. I do not have a record of his death or birth (The birth certs I have so far have turned out to be the wrong person)

Just wondering whether anyone else has information or prior research on him and/or his earlier family.

Any information gratefully received.
