    Default Jones Galore

    I have just found this in the Grahamstown Journal (a South African newspaper) dated 23 May 1899. Those of us with Welsh roots will sympathise!

    A wedding was solemnised at the Independent Chapel, Aberystwyth, recently, in which all the parties concerned bore the name of JONES. The bridegroom was Richard JONES, tailor, son of Jonathan JONES, tailor, and the bride was Elizabeth Jane JONES, whose father, David JONES, is also a tailor. The witnesses were John Robert JONES, tailor, and Anne JONES. The Minister was the Rev. B.E. JONES of Talybont, and the registrar the Rev. William JONES.

    I could not agree with you more.

    Jones is by far the worst - even more than Smith!

    One set of great, great grandparents were Mary Jones daughter of Edward Jones and James Smith son of James Smith. James was and is easier to track that Mary.
