Mary Jones married Francis Hipkiss St Giles 1844 I have her father as William Jones and sister as Lucy not sure where i got that from. As there are lots of Jones on BCC wondered if they could be fitted in. Noticed some common christiian names Francis and Louise/a amongst the Jones and Hiplisses. Not followed this up before because ther must be thousands of Mary Jones and William Jones

Hi all the Witnesses to the Marriage of Francis and Mary could be an older brother of Mary, Married to an Elizabeth before the 1841 Census I've also found that a lot of Father's were also Witnesses in the earlier years. Best Wishes linell.
