Hi This is the verified evidence I have about Henry JONES.He was my 2x grt grandfather and his name is on Jane JONES(his daughter)marriage certificate(1873) a collier living at Berry Hill(born Lydbrook).There`s no father written on Jane`s birth cert. mother Hannah JONES born 5 Acres.Jane lived with her maternal grandmother at least until 1871.In 1857 Hannah married Benjamin GUNDY but by 1871 She was with Henry(at Berry Hill)as his housekeeper.In 1881 he was still at Berry Hill with Hannah plus son ( also Henry)Henry senior had died by 1891
I`ve found 7 Henry JONESs born between 1821 and 1832 at Dean Forest(3), West Dean, Lydbrook and Clearwell.Is Newland interchangeable with Lydbrook as a birthplace? There was a Henry who was a lodger but the record was incomplete so I dont know where he was living.
