World War Two / Royal Air force Enlistment - Thomas Isfryn Jones
« on: Saturday 26 August 23 08:20 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find some basic information about the enlistment and subsequent RAF service of Thomas Isfryn Jones.   He was born 23 August 1907 in Talybont, Cardiganshire.  Married Daisy Jenkins in 1937 and lived in Aberystwyth.   Being over 30 at the outset of the war, he was probably called up later in the war and joined the RAF possibly in Penarth.   I believe most of his service was undertaken on bomber bases processing post bombing raid photographs etc.
Any information greatly appreciated

Unfortunately not the same person, Herbert John Kent was born 28 Aug 1894 in Selworthy, Somerset And died 8 Feb 1962 in Hammersmith, London.   His parents were Herbert Kent and Mary Baker Havill both from Somerset, the family lived in london   Herbert John Kent married Adelaide Florence Baxter 14 Aug 1916 and had no children, they too lived in London.

Appreciate any information, (records, medal index cards etc) on the wartime service of Herbert John Kent, Born Selworthy, Somerset in 1894.   In 1896 the family were living in London.
In 1915 Herbert John Kent served with 2/3rd, 3/3rd Bn (Royal Fusiliers) London Regiment and in 1919 he was with 1st, 3rd Reserve Bn, London Regiment.   I presume his rank was Private.
Thanks in advance

I have sent you a PM (personal message).
Coincidentally my mother’s maiden name was Jenkins.

Unfortunately the area occupied by the market gardens have been built over.   If you go onto Google Earth and select Vaynor Street Aberystwyth.  Half way up on the left of the street is a small alleyway.   This accesses the allotments.  Mr Walton occupied the area now covered by a block of flats (light coloured on the map).  The path continued through to Loveden Road.   The area after Walton’s was also an allotment, owned by a Vearey family, now also sadly built over.
A large black and white cat, that had adopted our family, caught rats in the allotments and would proudly display them to Mr Walton’s delight.

As a child, I remember a Walton who owned a commercial allotment below North Road.   It was accessed by a lane off Vaenor Street.   He seemed to have been around 50ish in the late 1940s But to a child everyone seemed to be about that age.   I to remember he drove a blue Morris Cowley Bullnose which even to me as a child was a rarity.
