Monmouthshire / Help needed re Oliver Jones
« on: Monday 04 May 20 00:13 BST (UK) »
Oliver Jones was born 20 May 1891. No idea of his parents names. He married Mary Louisa Neal on 4th Oct 1913 at Libanus Chapel. They lived at 17 High Street, Argoed. She died in 1918 and he married again to my great grandmother Susan Ellen Jones. As far as I am aware nan used to say they both met in Tredegar when he used to deliver either the milk or the coal. I know he was a collier at Gwrhay Colliery. They lived at No. 6 Gwrhay Cottage but moved to 5 Brynglas Avenue in the late 20's or early 30's. He died 16th April 1931. I know his brother and his wife used to live 'up the road' in Brynglas and I remember the wife being referred to a 'Bessie' but that's all I remember.
I know that seems a lot of information for somebody who hasn't got much information on him but I'm going on what is written down in the family bible and what cousins have said.
I have been searching for months and I found an Oliver Jones born in the same area with parents called Richard and Elizabeth but this is NOT my Oliver as far as I am aware.
Oliver and Mary had some children but after Mary died I have no idea what happened to them. Dennis, Sylvia Elizabeth and Doreen (Christine)
Thanks.
