Thread: Elizabeth Jones born Bodfari, Flintshire.Census help.

Hi,

I am looking for Elizabeth Jones bc 1800 Bodfari Flint on the 1861 census please. I think she is in Bala at this time, as this is what I found when doing a search for an Elizabeth Jones born Bodfari, this one comes up, for Bala.

Thanks very much,

JONES, Elizabeth Age 62 born 1799 Bodfari Flintshire
Address: Tyn Y Fron, Llandderfel, Merionethshire - registration district Bala.
Transcription has another Jones listed but the original is only the above two.

Thank you very much. That is a great help I wonder if they are on the 1851 too?

1871 Elizabeth is the head of the household living with her is her son Stephen.
she is a widow, son is unmarried.

That is fantastic - thank you! Can I just ask what Elizabeth puts for her place of birth for the 51 and 71 please?

I have had a look on freecen, and there is a Stephen Jones with parents John and Elizabeth for the 61, so it can't be the right one that you found for the 51 and 71, ie a different family to that of the 61 I asked for?

Elizabeth was born Bodfari, Flintshire but the freecen 61 says she is born Merionethshire, with son Stephen with her.

So I have to start again from the 61 found, as this seems correct.

Thanks very much, noggin28 - tracking back, this 51 seems correct, and must be the same Elizabeth as on the 61. At least they had one child with them, might make it easier to find more info about this couple.

On the 61 Stephen was shown also on the transcription, but on the original copy of the census it is only John and Elizabeth.
1871 census Elizabeth is shown living on her own as a widow/retired sawyers wife, at Peny Bont Llan Bala, Merionethshire. RG10 Piece 5687 Folio 63 Pg 13.
