You'll need to get the birth cert of at least one of those kids to get any further.
The marriage cert of any of them would give a father's forename.

I think you need to buy a copy of one of the childrens birth certs to get the parents full christian names

As you will already have discovered by searching freebmd - there are lots of Jones/Roberts marriages

Hi,
I am Keith Jones, and the son of Richard Kenneth Jones. He married Sylvia Biddlecombe, and died in 1996. Sylvia still lives in Weymouth.
Your grandfather, Arthur Edward Jones (Ted), married Eileen, and had three children: Pat, Sue and Gail. Ted re-married Rose, and has since died.
Peter Jones married Hilda, and had two children: Brian and Phillip.
Jack Jones travelled extensively, finally died in Auckland, New Zealand (never married)
Peggy Jones also never married.
Hope this is useful
Regards,
Keith Jones

Hi Keith

Hello Deborah,

Welcome to RootsChat.

I am very sorry but the member foxjohnson has not been replying to any of their topics.  I have been intouch again to see if I can sort out any problems but now I see there is possibly a problem with their email address currently ??? ??? They were logged in only last week, hopefully after reading my pm they may get back in touch.
