This may be just coincidence but there's a Daniel Adams in Merthyr on the 1901 who is a timberman below ground, and this is William Jones's occupation too. |

The only other Benjamin with no middle name is in North Wales so I think this is our man! |

So were you assuming that Benjamin was the oldest child? If so, we could have found the right family with William being older than you think. Here's the 1901 census entry: |

The William and Jane Jones I have found with a son Benjamin age 3 are in Victoria Street. |

Who are the witnesses on the marriage cert? Are there any clues there? |

Why do you think William was born about 1877? Do you have a death for him or some other family info? |

Sandra | Report | 2 Jan 2008 00:06 |

William's age wouldn't be on the marriage cert though so how do you know that one? |

|
Sandra | Report | 2 Jan 2008 00:04 |
|

The only Benjamin on the 1901 who has no middle name is the one in Dowlais but William and Jane, the parents have 7 children and they are 41 and 39. Do you know the names of any of Benjamin's siblings? |

OK - the marriage is on FreeBMD and it only has Benjamin. Is this where you've got William's name from, the marriage cert? |

How certain are you of William's age? Where have you got that from? |
