Thanks,

Yes that's my Edward & Ruth. I have their marriage cert & a copy of the registry entry, Hence I got to Samuel, where as most of the ancestry trees have his father as John.

I found Samuel & Elizabeth but I also found another Samuel Jones of the right age also living in the right place at the right time. So frustratingly without Edwards birth, & his mother name, I can't be sure which Samuel is definitely his. I know either Edward or Ruth's lines go back to Ireland & the other Samuel is born in Ireland. Although Ruth's mother was Maria Bailey & her fathers mother was Bridget both of which could potentially indicate Irish. I know the surnames (I believe mothers) around this time I should find a Smith & a Lacey. I think some of the Lacey girls married very well from what I remember.

My Mom died young & I so wish I'd written everything down before she died! But I could remember it then! She could recite all the names back to Ireland taught to her by her grandmother Sarah Anne who was Edward & Ruths Granddaughter. I'm not sure whether my mom learnt it cause she was nosey or whether it was something to do in the long hours spent in the air raid shelter :-) I have lots of their things as well which is all Irish Gold.

Thanks for your help
