It could be her alviegal, I wouldnt mind ordering more certificates if I have to, the PDF's are only £6, it would be worth it to prove it. This one has been so hard to get to the bottom of.

Marriage cert 1877 says lead miner. census 1881 says farm labourer. By 1901 he was dead. Dont know when he died.

I thought he was a lead miner in 1877?

" Lewis was 39, she was 24. He was widowed, she is spinster. he is Lead miner, she has no occ. "

The 1881 census says lewis was a farm labourer, then in later years he was a lead miner.

I was wondering about this one? Lewis is a lead miner, 3 youngest children born Taliesin, Cardiganshire. Lewis is born Tredol??

1871 England, Wales & Scotland Census

Bugeilyn, Penegoes, Machynlleth, Montgomeryshire, Wales

Lewis Jones Head - Male 34 1837 - Cardiganshire, Wales
Ann Jones Wife - Female 36 1835 - Cardiganshire, Wales
David Jones Son - Male 13 1858 - Cardiganshire, Wales
Thomas Jones Son - Male 10 1861 - Montgomeryshire, Wales
John Jones Son - Male 7 1864 - Cardiganshire, Wales
Elizabeth Jones Daughter - Female 4 1867 - Cardiganshire, Wales
Richard Jones Son - Male 1 1870 - Cardiganshire, Wales



This may be youngest daughter in 1881 and the other children would possibly all be working. Haven't found Richard yet.

Lewis was born Llangynfelio. Cardiganshire, Wales.

From the cencus's it would appear from the DOB's that all the children were belonging to Lewis and Eleanor.
