Thanks again for your help :) Out of interest, is there anywhere else these records would be held or just the NA?

Hi Hugh,

Thanks so much for this info and clarification.

My grandad served in the Merchant Navy until the early 1960s, so this would make sense why his records would be in the Fifth Register! 

Many thanks,

Colleen

World War Two / Merchant Navy Discharge number query
« on: Thursday 17 August 23 14:10 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Whilst on a seemingly endless search for my Grandfather's Merchant Navy records, I came across a discharge number on the NA which may be his but it may also have been mistranscribed. Sadly, only the medal card can be downloaded and I have no idea how else to locate further info without a visit to London.

His alias (don't ask!) was Thomas John Jones and his alleged (again, don't ask) D.o.B was 01.07.1918. He was from Tonypandy, Glamorgan...(well, actually Trealaw, but yeah...don't ask!)

I have found a medal card for a Thomas William Jones born 01.07.1918 with the discharge number R.251398, however, when I downloaded it, 'William' has been added retrospectively in pen. A further search of this discharge number came up with two results for a Thomas John Jones, born 1917, in Pony Pandy...their typo, not mine.

It is a long shot, but I think there may be some slim chance this is my grandfather but how can I locate any more info?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

Kindest regards,

Colleen

The Common Room / Another census headache - 1921
« on: Monday 14 August 23 12:00 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am at my wits' end looking for my G Grandparents in the 1921 census and am hoping someone can give me some pointers please as I know the area they were in prior to, and after this date and their details but cannot find them anywhere!
All persons are deceased.

From 1918-1920 family were at 56 Eleanor Street, Tonypandy (with Thomas E's parents)
In April 1920 they were at Ynyscynon Road with a member of Mary Maria's family (number not known but I have checked them all!)
In 1925 they were at 46-47 Hendrecafn Road, Trealaw (a lodging house where Mary died).

Thomas Edward Jones b.1898 Tonypandy, Pontypridd
Mary Maria Jones nee Allen b. 1896 Llywynpia, Pontypridd
Thomas James Jones b.1918 Trealaw, Pontypridd

Any help whatsoever would be great because I have spent a fortune and am pulling my hair out with this one!

Thanks,

Colleen

Hi Trish,

I am not sure, I have only just started to research the Phillips family, but this certainly seems like them. Thanks so much.

Elizabeth Prudence b.1900 Daughter

Thank you in advance,
