Can anyone offer advice please about establishing correct information when dealing with common surnames?
I think this may be the reference for ancestors in Southampton in 1851
HO107; Piece: 1669; Folio: 505; Page: 18
I am looking at the JONES family, headed by Geo(rge)
First problem is that my great grandmother Charlotte Alice is not shown, ...but a son Charles is named there....So is this my family?
I have a birth certificate for Charlotte Alice b.Nov 1846 in Southampton to George and Emily JONES (nee POWELL)
I have viewed parish records for St Marys, Southampton and have found no mention of a Charles.
Emily states in 1851 that she was born Durley, ...but I haven't found her in the parish register for Durley. The IGI shows the baptism of an Emily POWELL in Bishopstoke with father Mark ( as on POWELL= JONES marriage certificate) but is she 'my' Emily.?
Am I stuck or can I go back with any certainty?
