James Jones and Emily Allen and family - Forest of Dean FHT Forum

James and Emily were married in the Registration District of Chepstow during the September quarter of 1856 (info from Find My Past). Am seeking more information on their children, residence/s, occupation and if possible their parents details. Know of only one child (Kezia) born 1864 (deduced from her marriage certificate). Kezia emigrated to Queensland, Australia, as far as we know on her own, in the 1880's. Any help with this family will be most appreciated.

Again thank you for expanding our knowledge of the Welsh connection of our family. We are truly thrilled to now have so much information. I'm sure there are more details to be found. Our search will continue to try and find details of our Kezia's time in service at the Royal Hotel in Bristol and further information on her siblings and their stories. Much appreciated.

I have narrowed my search for Emily Allen in the 1851 Census to find that she is listed as a servant aged 17 in the Parish of Lydney. Can anyone help with suggestions as to where she may have been employed? Thank you.

Servant is a pretty generic term, not always a live-in position at a large house :-(

It appears she was a servant to James Halford's household.

Thank you for your help with my query about Emily Allen. Her placement with this family is a logical one as her own father was noted as a blacksmith on Emily's baptism record. I believe her mother and father had both passed away by the time of the 1851 Census(her father James at Allaston in 1836 - Burial Record ID 24977; her mother Eliza possibly at Churchant (?) in 1848. Was the Halford family noted in the census as residing in Allaston also?

Its just Lydney - theCensus notes point to the south west side of Lydney, including the Tin Mill housing and Lydney Basin.

The Churcham Burial in 1848 is a young person.

Did Eliza remarry after 1836 ?
