[llynboy]

I am trying to find out what becaome of William Griffith Jones who was a veterinary surgeon practising in Sheffield. He is in the 1891 census living at 53 Norfolk Street and in 1901 he is at 67 Glencoe Road. He was single up to the 1901 census. he was born in Pwllheli North Wales in 1861 the son of John Griffith and Janet Jones of Caerhydderch Shop, High Street, Pwllheli. He qualified in Glasgow in 1884.

llynboy, I can see him on the 1911 Census, in Sheffield listed as:

William Grifith Jones - age 49

The index is free to search.

Following on from Dee's reply............I think he's sharing his house with Mary Emily Jones born 1864.

Thanks to all for the replies. Up to last night I thought this chap had died in 1879 so it's a bit of a breakthrough.

Is there a website where one can scan local Sheffield newspapers published in 1946?


Thanks once again.
