Does anybody know his family? Thomas JONES said he was born in Coleford and that his father Henry JONES was a coalminer. Thomas gave various births from 1843 to 1846.
Said he ran away to sea at age 15 [c1859] which explains why searching the 1861 census proves fruitless.

Does anyone know more about the following family?

1841 census, Piece 365/3, folio 34, p3, Coleford, Coalway,

• Henry JONES, age 30, Collier. Born in this County [c1811]
  
• Ann JONES, age 30, –- Born in this County [c1811]
  
• Catherine JONES, age 4, –- . Born in this County [c1836]
  
• M. Ann JONES, age 3, –- . Born in this County [c1837]
  
• George JONES, age 1, –- . Born in this County [c1840]

Unfortunately this family were no longer in this area in the 1851 census and I can’t find them anywhere else.
Does anyone know where they went in 1851?
If I could find them in the1851 census it would show if Thomas, age 5-8, was really of this family

We only have Thomas' documents after 1865 when he got married age 20 in Stoke on Trent and was working in the iron mills.
