Forest of Dean 1891/1901
« on: Friday 28 October 05 09:34 BST (UK) »
Any help with this brick wall would be appreciated: My father in laws mother -

 Iris May JONES. Born 8th Sept 1906. Coleford, Glos/Herefordshre. Birth Cert. Shows:

Mother Annie Jones, domestic servant. Lived Joyford, West Dean.
No father shown.

Apparently  Iris was brought up by her two batchelor uncles, Fred and Tom JONES who also lived at or near Joyford/Coleford.

Any help with 1891 or 1901 appreciated. Not sure if it is Wales or England

Susan
Thanks so much. Could well be her. She had a daughter who was fathered by a married police officer from Bristol!
