Hello Paul,

I would have mentioned her earlier if I'd realised the significance, as soon as I saw the details on here I knew it was the right one, it makes sense now, it seems obvious that the registrar who completed the marriage certificate mistook Malsom for Nelson. It feels such a relief to know now after all this time and I can't thank you all enough, I really am in awe of how you find these things so quickly, this forum was my final avenue as I'd tried just about everywhere and everything else and was about to give up hope.

My great grandmother was a lovely woman, she was the one who wrote the family bible details, it makes me wonder if she didn't know much about her father Richard as he wasn't mentioned at all, neither was her step father John Jones, just her husbands family the Taylors. My grandmother died last year aged 99, the house belonged to her mother and I'm in the process of sorting the house, that's where I came across the bible among other papers and certificates of her mothers. There was nothing there relating to the Jones or Malsoms.

I will let you know if I find anything else of interest with the Malsom/Jones families then it may help other people who may be researching the same family.

Many thanks.

Mandy.
