Can anyone help me with the birth of a Nicholas Jones please?
When he died in June 1854, he was 93. However, at the 1851 census, also in Yate, he was stated as 88. So a birth sometime from 1760 - 1763.
He was born in Horton in Gloucestershire. I've checked the Horton parish records and found children born to William + Honour Jones. Also in nearby Chipping Sodbury children born to William + Sarah Jones.
death certificates aren't always accurate; the people who provide the information don't always get it right. This is often the case if it wasn't a family member.
