Yes, that is the right information you have on Caroline..

I thought exactly the same with regards to the Mrs Jones.. but how would I ever find this?

Who is this Mrs Jones? could she be a sibling to his mother who married a Jones?

I just don't know where I can go from here. I'm sure I seen records where he went to work in the military too but i cant seem to locate the note now.

thanks for your reply x

Glamorganshire / Brick wall.. William Powell..
« on: Tuesday 30 October 18 16:46 GMT (UK)  »
I'm not sure if i am posting on the correct page.. but I was wondering if someone could help me as I have hit a brick wall.. im struggling to find anything else.

William David Powell Jones was born in 1926 in Pontypridd.
I ordered his birth certificate which states
Mother:  Minnie Rose Williams
Father: William Jones

I can't seem to find ANYTHING on his parents.. no marriage, nothing.

I found William David Powell Jones in 1939 living with a woman Caroline Phillips and her husband William Phillips.. But no sign of William David Powell's parents.

I guessed that William David Powell may have some family connection to either Caroline/William Phillips.

Cutting a long story short. It turns out Caroline was William David Powell Jones's step aunt. His father was actually William Powell.

I found Caroline with her mother Elizabeth and step brother William in a few census records. The only thing is.. he is down as Powell and not Jones.

I have no idea where the Jones came from.

I spoke to a lady in Canada who was the great granddaughter of Caroline Phillips(Morgan) and she confirmed that William Jones was actually William Powell and he was Carolines step brother..but she also didnt know why he was down as Jones on his sons Birth Certificate.

I hope i havent confused anyone too much. I just dont know where to go with this. feel like its hit a brick wall.



thanks in advance for anything x

**(I have previously put this on a different thread - I don't know how to delete it from there though/move it.. as I think I have put it in the wrong place.. this is why I am adding it here)**
I hope everyone is keeping  well.

I was just after some help/guidance/anything anyone is able to offer! 

I'm having difficulty in tracing a family member in 1901.
Let me begin..

Percy Jones was born in 1899/1900 in Pontypridd.
Son of Daniel Jones and Ellen Reardon - married name Ellen Jones.

By 1901 - Daniel and Ellen had two children.
Gladys who was born in 1897
Percy who was born in 1899 (Some records have 1900 down)

In 1901 Census I have found Daniel Jones with his daughter Gladys living with Daniel's parents
Daniels parents - Father; David and Mother;Ann.

I then tried searching for Ellen and Percy - but no such luck.
They don't seem to be anywhere.. or atleast I cant find them. 
I have searched through census records, after records... and more records.

I'm either doing wrong.. or they have just disappeared in 1901.
in 1911 they are all back together.

Any help??

Thanks everyone.
Natalie
