1901 Census, William JONES - give his age as 34 - born Taynton

1911 Census, age 44 - born Taynton

1891 Census, Taynton
Glass House Hill

JONES

John - 49 - General Labourer, all born Taynton
Hannah - 44
William - 23
Louisa - 18
Annie - 11
Herbert - 10
Wallace - 8 (family name - used by William)
Eva - 6

1881 Census, Taynton

JONES

John - 39
Hannah - 36
William - 13
Thomas - 10
Emma - 6
George - 3
Herbert - 2 months

(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.

I'd be happier with the Bisley / Lypiatt - Miserden area than "Burley " / Burleigh

Thomas JONES 1911 & Family- Awre

viv7 — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 07:23:14 +0000

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.
