Hi everyone,
I'm not sure how often this is checked since it appears the most recent date someone posted in the topic is 2011, but I'll give it a go.
I'm researching my Welsh JONES ancestors, specifically, I'm looking for information on my 4x Great Grandparents: William and Annie Jones and their children. William was born in 1849 in Dale, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Annie was born in 1861 on Alderney Island. William served as a lighthouse keeper with Trinity House. He worked as a keeper at about five different lighthouses around England and Wales, including Casquets Rock Lighthouse, Alderney which is where he met Annie. The couple had 11 children: Annie Rachel b. 1874 Alderney; William Oliver b. 1876 Trevose Head Lighthouse, Cornwall; John James b. 1878 Alderney; James Edward b. 1882 Alderney; Thomas b. 1886 Alderney; Edward b. 1887 Alderney; George b. 1889 Alderney; Winnifred b. 1891 Alderney; Harold b. 1892 Dover, Kent; Dora b. 1898 Anglesey. I know my 3x Great Grandfather William Oliver Jones immigrated to the US in 1910. I also know his brother, James Edward Jones served in the Merchant Navy during World War I. I found William and Annie with Thomas and his wife (also named Annie), Harold and Dora in the 1911 census in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales. I also found James Edward Jones living in the same town that year with his wife (also, ironically, named Annie) and daughter Mabel. I've found some death records that they might be matches for William and Annie, but I'm uncertain. I'd really like to find out where they're buried and find pictures of their headstones. I'd like to know more about James Edwards' service during World War 1 as well. Any information on any of these people would be greatly appreciated. I'd also love to find any still-living cousins.
