Sarah Report 27 Jan 2010 21:55

Hi I am looking for anyone who might be related or have any information on Edward Jones born 1846 or 1854 not sure on his birth as it is unclear on their marriage cert. Also his wife Elizabeth Host born 1848. They married at Christ Church Battersea on 14th of June 1874 they are the parents of Elizabeth Jones b1884 also poss Matilda, May and Emma these are names i have been given by family. Edward's father was Edward Jones and he was a labour as was Edward himself, Elizabeth's father was a Silk weaver. I have not been able to find them on any census as there are too many to narrow down. I would love to hear from anyone who might be able to help. thanks S

I dont think George is her father as he is unmarried ,enumerator may have just "assumed "that he is,although it does say daughter against her,
Mary white is a visitor,so may be a nursemaid?

I've checked births for Elizabeth Host in findmypast but there are no listings for 1847, 1848 or 1849. There's one for an Elizabeth Hostler, Ampthill, Dec qtr 1849, ref vol 6, page 4.
