At one point in my climb up the Walker tree I asked Margaret
(our best man's wife) where in London her mother had hailed
from. It had occurred to me that as I was investigating London
records I could look for her mother's ancestry at the same time.
She also had the name of Jones in her family, - and don't we all !
And so abandoning for the moment the Walker-Jones problem I
turned to the family of Margaret.
I climbed to William Samuel Jones and searched for his birth
certificate which was duly found showing that he had been born
at No.1 Ratcliffe Gardens, City Road, St.Lukes, his parents being
Edward Jones and Mary Ann Jennings. Edward was a Paper
Stainer and I found his marriage, but as he was born before 1837
there would not be a birth certificate for him, nor did he appear in
the church register, I was stuck yet again !
Then one day re-reading all the information I wondered why
Ratcliffe Gardens seemed familiar, there did not seem to be
anything else with that address on it. The light slowly dawned
and I rushed excitedly for my Walker file and there it was - my
husband's great great grandparents had the address on their
marriage certificate !!! Co-incidence ? another No.1 Ratcliffe
Gardens in another parish perhaps ? But I just knew at this point
that I had joined my husband's Jones to our friend's Jones, but I
needed more proof or I would be laughed at or looked pityingly
upon for my wild suppositions. I kept quiet and feverishly wrote
letters, collected more certicates and census records and
gathered the results together into a family tree. This was not
completely satisfactory, but enough for me to know without doubt
that I was correct and hopefully the Jones's two descendents would
as well !
|
We were all about to have a holiday in the Welsh mountains so
along with my clothes I secreted away two family trees one for
Don and one for Margaret, and then felt strangely nervous -
suppose they spotted a hole in it that I hadn't !
However, I duly produced it and stunned confusion seemed to
settle in the room - I seem to remember Michael laughing and
saying " Is this a joke, it is a joke isn't it?" They then set to
examining all my evidence and we reached agreement that
Margaret and Don were indeed fourth cousins and their son
Steven and our girls fifth cousins. .
