Thank you Slowhands for your response.
I had located this 1851 census record - however I have spent hours and hours searching for this family in 1861 without success.
Can find William and Eliza JONES again in 1871.
In 1881 census Eliza is aged 70, a widow, and is recorded with her granddaughter (CRUM). I am in no doubt it is the same Eliza - but for some unknown reason she records herself as Eliza BALDWIN.
Eliza had a granddaughter born in 1887 who was registered as Elizabeth Baldwin JONES. By 1911 at least three of Eliza's grandsons (one of them my husband's grandfather) are also using the name BALDWIN. The other 6 siblings continued to use the name JONES.
I can find no link at all to BALDWIN. Family story was that there were too many JONES' so some of them changed to BALDWIN.
With thanks.
Jenny
