His wife Sarah was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.

Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 817 Send Message	Hi Sarah. Have sent direct reply with the address you were asking for and the birth registrations for the children. Copy of one of the birth certificates should give the Mothers maiden name and this will help to trace the parents marriage. As you will realise, Jones history is not easy to trace but with Sarah;s name it should help.Ethel.
