A breakthrough

It is surprising what one name can do.

From one name on a marriage certificate I was able to trace a whole family. Today from another name on a census, I traced another family.
My great, great grandparents Uriah Jones and Sarah Jones (Jones) married in 1874, one of their witnesses was Elizabeth Dickens. Elizabeth Dickens (Jones) was Sarah's sister, so from that one name I managed to trace Elizabeth and her husband and family.
Today, putting Elizabeth's family together, I did a search on one of her daughters, and wondered why the child was not on the 1881 census at the home of her parents, so clicked on her name and found her in Wigan, relationship to head of household niece. I thought hey what's happening here, looked at the list of people on the census at that address and found Mary Warren - to connect Mary to Elizabeth I needed to view the record on the census, Mary was indeed Elizabeth Dickens's sister, married to a John Warren. So from this one name I have almost completed one branch of the family.
It was a breakthrough I needed. I am so looking forward to the 1911 Census, it will reveal so much to complete what I know about these families.
So I am quite happy today. Hope for some more breakthrough's tomorrow.
