"She lived with her daughter, Archies sister Jessie Margaret and son in law, Gordon Leonard Jones in Grahamstown Road, Sedbury where she used to sit knitting socks on four tiny knitting needles. Any information about the girls or family would be greatly appreciated."

Hi Mary,
to start with I'm just trying to clarify the names you mention, as you don't give ages or dates, by reading thro' your old threads. I see Slowhands was his usual great help, but sadly he doesn't seem to use the forum any more, so we must start from scratch to some extent. I'm hoping I have the correct people, but please can you confirm this, or not ?.

1) You mention Gordon Leonard Jones, forgive me but did you perhaps mean George Leonard Jones, as per your previous thread ? see
http://forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=13517

This thread gave his 1901 Census details;

1901 Beaucliff,Boughspring, Dennel Hill ( near the tunnel)
Williams Jones abt 1869 Staunton On Wye, Gloucestershire, England Head Tidenham, Gloucestershire Gardener
Annie Jones abt 1872 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Wife Tidenham, Gloucestershire
Ellen R Jones abt 1896 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Tidenham, Gloucestershire
George L Jones abt 1900 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Son Tidenham, Gloucestershire
William A Jones abt 1895 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Son Tidenham, Gloucestershire.

(I hope this is your man, I cannot find any records for a GORDON Leonard Jones within the usual local BMD/PRs websites).

2) Looks like this is your Margaret and children Archie & sister Jessie ?,
Ref your previous thread, "Jesse Margaret JONES 1898 Tutshill", see http://forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=13518

1901 Tutshill
George Jones abt 1863 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Head Tidenham, Gloucestershire Quarryman
Margaret Jones abt 1865 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Wife Tidenham, Gloucestershire
Archibald Jones abt 1896 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Son Tidenham, Gloucestershire
Bartie Jones abt 1894 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Son Tidenham, Gloucestershire
Jessie Jones abt 1898 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Tidenham, Gloucestershire
Willie Chas Jones abt 1888 Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England Son Tidenham, Gloucestershire
Sarah Price abt 1848 London, England Boarder Tidenham, Gloucestershire

I'm afraid I cannot access the 1911 Census at this time, hopefully someone else can for both above households. However I can find these Records from the excellent GlosBMD & FreeBMD sites, plus this FoD site's PRs;
