Notes |
- William Jones was a coalminer according to his son John's marriage record. The marriage record does not give John's mother's name. John's death record indicates that John was the son of "William Jones and Jemima Williams".
William Jones has not been confidently identified in the 1841 census.
On 8 Dec 1844, William Jones, a collier, residing in Llwynegrin, son of John Jones, a miner, married to Jemima Williams, residing in Mold, daughter of William Williams. Their ages were given only as "of full age." The marriage was witnessed by Evan Jones and Margaret Williams, presumably their siblings. Llwynegrin Lodge is located adjacent to a lead mine, about 2 km north of Mold and about 8 km south of Flint.
(Llwynegrin was built in 1830 by Thomas Jones of Chester for Philip Davies Cooke of Gwysaney as a dowager house in Tudor style. It was originally symmetrical and stuccoed, it has since been extented and the later outer wings are now cement rendered. The original centre block is approximately E-shaped with advanced gabled outer bays and central two-storey gabled ashlar porch with swept roof. There are medium pitched slate roofs with stone ridges. There are diagonal stepped buttresses to the corners. The interior has been adapted for office use.) https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/35987/?term=shire%20hall
(Chester is on the border of England and Wales, 15 km east of Mold.)
In 1851, at age 32 (or 37), William Jones was residing at Parish Lane in Flint, Flintshire, Wales, employed as a labourer. He was residing with his wife, Jemima Jones, age 32, and their sons, William age 5, and John, age 3. Listed immediately preceding in the census is Edward Jones, age 33, an engine driver, with his wife, 30 year old Elizabeth, and their sons, John, age 6, and Robert, age 4. Edward is believed to be William's brother.
William Jones died sometime between 1851, when he last appears in a census, and 1854 when his widowed wife remarried to George Griffiths.
In 1861, William's sons are found residing with "Jemima Griffiths" who is the same age as their mother. From this entry it is presumed that William died between 1851-1861 and Jemima remarried to a man surnamed Griffiths.
In 1891, John Jones and Ellen Evans were residing at 16 Baythorpe Street in Little Bolton, Lancashire, England. Living two houses away at 12 Baythorpe Street, was William Jones, age 43, born in Wales, a tailor, with his wife Mary Ann, age 43, born in Wales, and their children:
Frederick W. 20, Wales, cotton piercer
