Hi Reg, Thank you for that! Yes that is the marriage and it seems the correct Census entry. I can't tell you how long I have been trying find our jone's family. My granny was Sarah Jones. As you know its like seaching for needle in a haystack looking for the name Jones in Wales. It was just a chance remark at a family funeral last week that led Me to find my gradma's youngest sibbling's birth certificate. From that I found the entry of marriage for Ada & William john as Ada's name before marriage was on the certificate. Now You have given Me the chance to find my granny's birth certificate with the information you have found. THANK YOU AGAIN VERY VERY MUCH Best Wishes Priscilla

Hi, Im not sure of their age this is what i have so far. A birth certificate for their daughter who was born in 1908 in Pontypool it say's mother's name Ada. father's name (William john) a marriage certificate for their oldest daughter Sarah it says father's name (William John) place Pontypool. I have sent for (William John) & Ada's Marriage certificate the marriage took place in pontypridd in 1991 but as yet the certificate has not arrived. There oldest daughter Sarah should be on the census as well as she was born around 1895 Thanks Priscilla
