Find Ancestors

I am looking for information about the birth and parents of Annie Capel Jones. I have found her on the 1901 census in Bristol as housekeeper to her brother. Her age is given as 32. I also know that she died in 1903 and is buried in the churchyard of St Faith's church, Dorstone, Herefordshire. I think she may have been born in Dorstone but I can't find any proof.

If anybody has this lady in their family I would be very grateful to hear form them.

Many thanks
Sara

Thanks very much for all the efforts, especially the will information. I have a lot of information about the Jones family but it is proving very difficult to fit Annie Capel into it. I am a bit concerned that I am looking at 2 different sets of Jones, one set with Annie Capel and one without. The problem is that most of the information that I have seems to go together very well but Annie Capel only appears in 1901. So, it's the early stuff that I need.

Suggest you get the will to see what was left where and to whom, as that could help prove or disprove your suspicions?

You're probably right. Although I'm confident about William Meredith Jones. The question is where was Annie Capel form birth to 1901? Arggggggggg, it's so frustrating.

I went to Dorstone last week and found the cottage that the family lived in and Annie Capel's grave, unfortunately there wasn't any useful information on it. I have the birth cert for Clara Jones who is the child who would have come before Annie Capel. The parents are William Jones and Ann Jones nee Garrett. I can't fit in the Sarah and Jessie who appear in 1871. I wonder if Annie Capel is Sarah (but can't see why the name would change).

Maddie,
I have already posted that.

Could this be Annie, is it worth a gamble?:
Births Jun 1867
Jones Annie Hay 11b 161
or are there others that could be this birth in the censuses?
