Bob Report 10 Jul 2015 01:25

I'm looking for the family of:
Henry Jones and Catherine Parry, married Mar. 24, 1883 in the
Register Office Llanfyllin, Denbigh & Montgomery, Wales
Witnesses were George Lloyd and Jane Parry, Catherine's sister.
I believe they had at least 4 children:
Thomas H. 1884
James 1887
John E. 1890
William 1893
Is any of the above familiar?
If so, I look forward to your response.
Thank you.
Bob

Thank you to the above for your responses.
I think the PricklyHolly response is the closest to my inquiry.
Here is the factual info I have.
Marriage:
Mar. 24, 1883 Register Office, District of Llanfyllin, County Montgomery & Denbigh
*Henry Jones age 22, Bachelor, Labourer, Residence Grwnalk (check spelling), Llanwddyn, no father's name ??.
*Catherine Parry age 22?, Spinster, Domestic Servant, Residence Bwlchyddar Llanrhaiadr, Father Thomas Parry
Witnesses: George Lloyd and Jane Parry.
Here is my connection.
My grandfather is Robert Parry born Mar. 20, 1853, Tinyfedw, Gartheryr, Llanrhaiadr ym Mochnant, Denbigh & Montgomery. He is the brother of the bride Catherine Parry b 1859 and the brother of witness Jane Parry b 1855. Their parents were Thomas Parry and Jane Thomas. Their other siblings were Mary, Harriet and Thomas.
I hope this added information will help and many thanks to the others for their responses.

I'm looking for the family of:Henry Jones and Catherine Parry, married Mar. 24, 1883 in the Register Office Llanfyllin, Denbigh & Montgomery, Wales
There is a registered death in Llanfyllin of a Henry Jones that died in the 2nd Qtr 1890. His estimated birth year was 1861 and it's possible this Henry Jones could have been Catherine's husband.
Sorry,the 1901 census does not apply to my family..

Catherine (Parry) Jones was born in Gartheryr, just south of Llangedwyn.
I'm gong to research the premise perhaps William Henry Jones was her first husband and born in Llanwddyn and he died in 1890 in Llanfyllin. Next she may have married Henry J Jones born in Birmingham and he could be the father of William 1893.
The fact there was no husband named in the 1891 census might be an indicator she was a widow and shouldn't have been shown as married.
I'm going to order the death cert for Henry Jones who died 1890 in Llanfyllin.

I couldn't make the connection with 1901 census that Jacqueline posted either.

Ooops........it's been deleted now.

One of the things that makes it tough to sort out Henry Jones is his father's name is not on the marriage cert whereas Catherine's father, Thomas Parry is named.
Perhaps Henry Jones 1861 of Llanwddyn was born out of wedlock and raised by another family. I'm going to look through the North Wales BMD site to see if I can learn more.
I know the Parry side quite well as I have some photos, birth, marriage and death certs to help me trace the family. I'll be back.
