Katie Report 21 Nov 2012 11:50

Hugh Wesley Jones, b. 1878 Brynmawr, Brecon

was born to Thomas Jones & Sarah Watkins - this is them in 1881

1881 - 3, Chapel St, Llanelly
JONES, Thomas Head Married M 28 1853 Stone Mason
Cwmdu, Brecknockshire, Wales VIEW
JONES, Sarah Wife Married F 26 1855
Brynmawr, Brecknockshire, Wales VIEW
JONES, Hugh W Son Single M 3 1878
Brynmawr, Brecknockshire, Wales

I can't find any of them in the 1891 or 1900 censuses - can you help?

I know he married 11 Aug 1902 to Georgina Presdee at Bethsada Chapel Brynmawr

and was a coal miner.

Many thanks,

Katie

1891 have you looked at the family called FONG

Think it might be Long. Could suggest that mother Sarah has remarried

He's a boarder but has been given the same name as the family...wonder if this was a mistake at the time the census was taken?

Thank you very much!
You were correct with the Long's as the elder sister was living with the grandparents the census earlier .

In the 1891 census Hugh is with his grandfather Thomas Watkins b 1821 Merthyr

It has him aged 2 but it should be 12 - when looks at the image there is one of those check ticks going through the "1" and the transcriber has missed it . It states he is a Scholar,so must be of school age

Is it possible for someone to be on a census twice in the same year? because Thomas & Mary Watkins are the correct grandparents and it does say 12yrs old so he is the correct age but the presence of his sister in the census with with him his mother and the Long's Is correct too! - Help!!

I think this one is most likely to be him as his wife to be lives at 96b Worcester road as a servant and it's the right occupations for him.
