Stephen, Do you know what Walter Edward's occupation was? Have you found him on Census?

his job was a potman and on the wedding cert his address was 5 halpin place

Is this them in 1901? Mary Jones abt 1874 Newington, London, England Wife Camberwell London Rose Jones abt 1900 Camberwell, London, England Daughter Camberwell London Walter Jones abt 1870 Stroud, Gloucestershire, England Head Camberwell London Walter Jones abt 1895 Camberwell, London, England Son Camberwell London

yes that could be them the names seem to match

May be a possibility for 1891.... Jane Jones abt 1847 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Head Horsley Gloucestershire Mary Jones abt 1875 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Horsley Gloucestershire Walter Jones abt 1870 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Son Horsley Gloucestershire Thomas Hanks abt 1806 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Father Horsley Gloucestershire Horsley appears to be a sub-district of Stroud....

If the 1891 family is the right one, may be them in 1881 Thomas Hanks abt 1806 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Head Horsley Gloucestershire Anne Jones abt 1871 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Horsley Gloucestershire Jane Jones abt 1845 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Daughter (Head) (Daughter) Horsley Gloucestershire Mary Jones abt 1875 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Horsley Gloucestershire Walter Jones abt 1869 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Son Horsley Gloucestershire William Jones abt 1868 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Son Horsley Gloucestershire

Stephen, I think you should let the ones who are helping know what has already been found on the tips thread Tracy

no cant be them walter edwards father is thomas jones not hanks

Thomas Hanks is Jane Jones' father - Jane being the possible mother of Walter Jones

Stephen, do you know whether the family in 1901 is a possibility - did your grandfather ever mention an 'Aunt Rose'?
