Hi,
Im trying to trace my grandfather's family. My Grandfather was THOMAS JONES and he was born in 1911 in AWRE WOODEND His father was WILLIAM JONES and his mother was GERTRUDE WIGGINS. My Grandfather's brothers were George, Wallace, Willie and Reginald. He also had sisters called Ada, Florence and I think Daisy. I'm not sure if he had any other brothers or sisters.
I would be grateful for any information.

The 1891 census, looks like Bisley, Glos (which is near Stroud)
Gertrude A WIGGINS 1874 ? Stroud area - Bisley
by slowhands , proud of his ancient Dean Forest roots, Tuesday, July 19, 2011, 09:58 (4880 days ago) @ m p griffiths
I'd be happier with the Bisley / Lypiatt - Miserden area than "Burley " / Burleigh

1901 Census, William JONES - give his age as 34 - born Taynton
1911 Census, age 44 - born Taynton
?
1891 Census, Taynton
Glass House Hill
JONES

Hannah - 44
William - 23
Louisa - 18
Annie - 11
Herbert - 10

1881 Census, Taynton
JONES

(use the Advance Search as explained by Admin - and you'll find the baptism record of these children) - I give it a couple of second when altering from baptism/marriage/burial - if you do it 'too quick' the option doesn't always 'click' - the screen jumps - then it seems to work O.K.
1871 Census, Taynton
Cottage
JONES
John - 29
Hannah - 24
Alfred - 5
William - 3
Thomas - 1 month
When trying to find the correct marriage of a common name like John JONES
By using the Gloucestershire BDM
http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/
you will find Thomas JONES age 1 - mother's maiden name COLEMAN - 1870 + later siblings, this confirms the marriage below is the correct one.
FOD records
Marriage at Taynton - 8 October 1864
John JONES, full, Bachelor, residence TAYNTON
father: John JONES, labourer
married
Hannah COLEMAN, age 19, Spinster, residence TAYNTON
father: William COLEMAN, labourer
mark of (illegible) PHELPS
mark of Caroline PHELPS
Officiating Minister, Cy CRAWLEY
(quite a few options for John JONES on earlier census)
-----
Hannah's is easier to sort out....
1861 Census Taynton
Glass House Hill
COLEMAN
William - 49 - Wood labourer, born Glos. Longhope
Ann - 43 - born Taynton
Hannah - 14
William - 8
Emma 3 -
Hannah Maria (HEINER - transcribed as, difficult to read) - Lodger age 83 - born Taynton
---
1851 Census Taynton
COLEMAN
William - 39 - Coaler, born Longhope
Anne - age completely crossed through - (looks like, Smack Maker) - born Taynton
Mary A - 8
Hannah - 4
Authur - 8 months
---
This is where I use the Gloucestershire BDM - to see if I can find the children's birth registered - and in this case - the mother's maiden name is OAKEY
as yet, can't find a marriage

FOD records
Christening at Longhope - 14 October 1810
William COLEMAN - parents John & Hannah
----
?
1841 Census Longhope
COLEMAN
John - 55 Ag.Lab - all born in County
William - 25
Richard - 20 *
Eliza - 15
* again using the Advance Search : Richaed COLEMAN christened at Longhope in 1814 John & Hannah - this confirms the census details are correct.
