Sharon 692 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hi I'm doing a family tree and I want to find out about my great grandmother Ruth jones . In 1911 she was 16 and living at 6 exeter street st.helens. Her father was john jones ( but he died before 1916) . Her mother was Elizabeth jones . I'm wondering if any descendants of this family are still living local ? I'm going to exeter street tonight just to see if anyone knows of any jones living in the area . I know it's a long shot but there's an interesting story I want to try and unravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon 692 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hi thanks for the reply unfortunately it's not them . Elizabeth Austin married john jones and they had 8 children . 1 girl and 7 boys all in st.helens. There daughter Ruth jones married Ernest James in 1916 and on the marriage certificate it says that John jones was deceased ( merchant service captain ) I know from census records he was alive in 1911 and so he's dead before 1916 . Can't find a record of his death anywhere . I went exeter street last night but no joy .. Not that I was expecting any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane his wife, daughter Elizabeth married a SPARK later, does that sound like them? James Jones married Jane Dixon at Paris Church 24.07.1909 Elizabeth Jones mother nee Dixon registered birth 1914 added 0 minutes later Birth date given on the 1939 census for James was 10 Mar 1886 added 26 minutes later James is buried at the crem 1940 with Jane Jones, James Jones and Elizabeth Spark also there Grave 38/165 Sorry I may have done this already, seems really familiar, They don't appear on the 1911 as far as I can see. No work being done at GRO for now due to Covid, bad luck added 28 minutes later On 11/06/2014 at 19:19, boyer108 said: why would he marry from his sister in laws house He may have been renting rooms there for his new marital home, that's what they did then if their home was too full. added 32 minutes later On 16/05/2014 at 14:41, Sharon 692 said: Ruth jones married Ernest James in 1916 There's a Ruth James buried 1916 born 1889 at St Helens Crem? There are loads of Elizabeth Jones though, where to start? Just put first and second names in here and see which one you think it is, no need for dates. Once you find one you think is her click on the name then click on VIEW to see who else is buried with her.

Phyll Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I don't know if we have any connection as Jones is a common name, but my Dad (George Arnold Clitheroe) had a Sister named Martha E Jones, (nee Clitheroe), born 1909. She was married to Eric Jones, born 1907, both deceased, they lived at 316 Boundary Rd. they had 3 children? (my cousins) a Son Eric Arnold Jones, who I found out is also now deceased since the year 2000, a Son named ?Alan and a Daughter ?Olive. (Sorry can't quite remember their names as it's been a long time since I've seen them and my memory is not as good as it used to be). I have been living here in the US for the past 25 yrs, but anyone who knows, or knew them, who might be related to me I would love to hear from them.
