According to the wedding lookup, Frances Mary Jones father was Thomas.

This is not what 99% of people have in their trees.

They have a Henry Richard Jones but I never accepted that as correct.

Trouble is, you can't find a Frances Jones living with a Thomas in the 1841 census.

I think we need to take a leap of faith and say this is her family and that the enumerator was confused by two Frances in the house.

Franc(i)(e)s is spelt differently for the two children on the form and I am sure the youngest is Frances and has been marked male incorrectly.

It is the only one in 1841 in Staffordshire I can find where we have a Thomas and possible France Mary Jones under the same roof...

That would make her mother Susannah but I never see that name used in later generations. John and Frances named their first born girl Sarah Elizabeth so I would have expected Frances' mother to be an Elizabeth as that fits in with how they named their children. i.e Their first born boy John Thomas after child's two grandfathers.

Would people like to have a look and see if they can find any evidence for this being Frances Mary Jones family or if they can find a better fit.

Possible marriage for parents would be Thomas Jones marrying Susannah Jones, Sedgley on 04 Nov 1832. Wolverhampton Parish Church?

Doesn't feel rite does it

Does it say the occup on the 1841 for Thomas?
here is Frances on BCC

1891 Census born 1837 Bilston
1901 Census born 1836 Bilston

Marriage born 1834
Death born 1837

Thomas is a Labourer on the 1841 Census.

Thomas might be Step father/Uncle/Cousin?

The bastard of Mary Jones fits everything but the father on the marriage.

I think that bapt at Bilston is the rite one and have added it as a possible in notes

Gender: Female Christening: 21 JUN 1812 Sedgley, Stafford, England

2. SUSANNA JONES - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 31 DEC 1809 Sedgley, Stafford, England

I think the naming of their first son as John Thomas Bradford indicates that Thomas has some importance to Frances Mary.

It may be she was always in his care be it uncle or husband of auntie or whatever.

The baptism in Bilston must be her as I can find no other near Biltson in the time frame.

If we are done with this I will rearchive
if you want it moving to Brickwalls just say
