Hello all, I am new to this so any help would of course be appreciated. My name is Chad Kirk, reside in Virginia, US and have definitely caught this Ancestry.com bug. I am fo 1851cusing on the Jones family in Llandudno. The father is listed as a Pierce Jones (1850-1922) a master plasterer. I think he may have been married more than once, but I have a wife listed as Jane Anne Williams Jones (1851-1897). They of course had several children, Kate Jones b.1875, John b.1876, Lizzie (Bessie) b. 1878, Annie Maria b. 1881, Percy b. 1883, Grace E. b.1885, Harry b. 1887, Henry b.1887, Richard Benjamin Robert b. 1890, Mary Jane b. 1893. There may be a few more with the multiple marriages. I believe there is someone already looking into Grace E. and if they would like to contact me I would love to hear and trade any info as I believe Grace E. and my Great great grandmother (Annie Maria Jones) would have been sisters. I do have some pics of the family but unfortunately none of Grace, but I will definitely start digging deeper. regarding Annie Maria, sadly she had a very short life, she married an Alfred Kirk in 1900 and had 3 children, 2 having survived. They were William Pierce Kirk, and his younger brother John Reginald Archibald Kirk. the 1911 census showed me that Alfred had John R. A. Kirk living with him as a boarder, and William P. Kirk was living with his mother's side, head of this house was Pierce Jones. They had lost their mother a few years earlier in 1909 according to death records. Ultimately both boys ended up in an orphanage, and were sent to Halifax. I believe Alfred remarried and started a new family... Fast forward a 100 years and you have me in Virginia with the last name Kirk. I am interested in finding out more about the Jones family, filling in some gaps I have on Pierce (the plasterer), where Annie Maria was buried as I am planning a trip over to pay respects, and of course see where they lived. I have some old pics passed down and one is written as William "Tidi" Jones, another William "Banor" Jones, but BOTH are said to have been Annie Maria's father....?? I have that name as Pierce Jones, could it have been a nickname? I know I have the correct group because on the marriage document of Alfred and Annie Maria, the father of the bride is listed as Pierce, and Lizzie (Bessie) Jones is an attender of the wedding. Alfred's father is listed as a William Kirk, who I believe was a butler? Anyways, sorry to throw so much out there, of course there are things I am leaving out, but I am trying to gather as much info as I can before I come over, and of course anybody who is looking into this branch I would be happy to help with research through Ancestry.com if I am able. Thanks! Chad Kirk.
