Veronica Jones, Nebo, Penygroes, Woking, Guildford.

Veronica Jones

Any information or further research suggestions much appreciated on Veronica Jones. My base year is 1941. I don’t have birth date but probably early 1920s.

1941

In July of ’41 she gave her address as 22 Ferndale Road, Woking; that was then St. Margaret’s Childrens Home, occupation ‘General domestic servant’.

She gave her residence as ‘ 1 Bryn Llynfnwy Terrace, Nebo, Penygroes, North Wales’. I’ve looked at the 1939 register and I believe that it has been transcribed incorrectly but searching the village I found numbers 1,2, and 3 Brynllynwyy.  I’ve looked at possible connections with the Jones at no.2 without success, and because of the ‘closed’ records I’m at a loss!

On 28 August her address was 2 The Close, West Byfleet, Surrey.

In September she was staying with Mrs Triggs, 78 Cline Road, Guildford, close to her new job at Burns Laundry.

Yes...all I have is 1941. Birth certificate as mother of Molly. 'When and where born' is 10 Warren Road, Guildford. Column 5 shows.... General domestic servant of 22 Ferndale Road, Woking (St. Margaret's Children's home).

Other information is from letters at that time.

Thank you

Yes, it was. Unfortunately I'm in Devon so travelling to research isn't easy. I'm hoping somebody will give me the 'eureka moment'   ;).

 Thank you, so much.

I would be tempted to email Surrey History centre to ask what sort of information is in the record I mentioned.   It is worth mentioning you are in Devon and the person / date you are looking at just in case someone thinks it is an easy reply.

I presume she did not have a middle initial

I wonder if the following are connected:-
There is a Veronica M(air) Jones born 1924 on www.northwalesbmd.org.uk
www.freebmd.org.uk gives the mother's maiden name as Goodall
There is a family named Goodall in the 1911 census in the (Penrhyn)Deudraeth area.
The 1939 register has someone with the same name and occupation as the head of that household(but 10 years different in age) in Woking.
All needs re-checking

Regards
Roger

There is a 1924 marriage of Lydia Goodall to Edward Jones that would be a reasonable candidate for her parents.
