Jones Family Carmarthenshire

[hmcullum]

I have traced a number of siblings of my Great Great Grandmother Leah Jones but two of her siblings are proving difficult to pin down after the 1881 census. I cannot find any marriage records or where they mave have moved to once thet left the family home.

The two siblings are called Lewis Jones (born c. 1862) and Mary Jones (born c. 1864).

Here is the 1881 census including Lewis and Mary but where did they go to after this?

1881 Census, Woolstone Farm, St Clears, Carmarthenshire, Wales

JONES, JAMES HEAD MAR 52 FARMER OF 200 ACRES CARMARTHENSHIRE
JONES, PHEBE WIFE MAR 51 FARMERS WIFE CARMARTHENSHIRE
JONES, HOWELL SON UNM 27 FARMERS SON CARMARTHENSHIRE
JONES, JOHN SON UNM 20 FARMERS SON CARMARTHENSHIRE
JONES, LEWIS SON UNM 19 FARMERS SON CARMARTHENSHIRE
JONES, MARY DAU UNM 16 FARMERS DAUGHTER CARMARTHENSHIRE
JONES, MIRIAM DAU UNM 13 FARMERS DAUGHTER CARMARTHENSHIRE
THOMAS, ANNE SERVANT UNM 24 GENERAL SERVANT CARMARTHENSHIRE
REYNOLDS, MARY SERVANT UNM 24 GENERAL SERVANT DOMESTIC CARMARTHENSHIRE

I would really appreciate any clues or pointers about where I can start to search for them.

Many thanks

Were the family born in Carmarthenshire?

Thanks

Other siblings give their place of birth as Llanginning or St Clears at various points in their lives. Does this help to narrow down the records that I should look at?

[RobinC]

I've tried looking for the above place names but can't find anything.

I have found that the Lewis Jones from Abergwilly married a "Lettice" and was a carpenter, not sure if this helps?

Thank you

I have looked at this Lewis and there are a couple of things that do not feel quite right. He consistently gives his place of birth at locations north east of carmarthen. He also is listed as just speaking Welsh whereas the Lewis that I am looking for spoke English as well.

I don't know where else to look.

[RobinC]

I'm stuck too, I'm afraid! Hopefully someone else can help though?

Thanks Robin

I have managed to find Mary Jones as witness at the marriage of my Great Great Grandparents in 1883 so this means that any marriage for Mary occurred after 1883. Still no closer to tracking these people down though:

Lewis Jones (born c. 1862), Carmarthenshire
Mary Jones (born c. 1864), Carmarthenshire, witness at wedding in 1883 as Mary Jones

Both have not been located on the 1891, 1901 or 1911 census returns. I am also not able to pin down any marriages that may apply.

Please help me knock down this brick wall.

Many thanks
