Thomas William Jones

[Wheeltapper]

I am researching a Thomas William Jones who died as a result of an air crash in September 1944 in Northamptonshire.  He was a Sergeant Air Gunner in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserves.   His parents were William and Ethel Jones of Roath, Cardiff.   He was 19 years old when he died making his year of birth approximately 1924-25.   
Can anyone help me with any information about him or his family please?

HI Wheeltapper.

Welcome to Rootschat. 

I noticed the link to Northants and so looked at the CWGC
for his name, in case his burial was our way. It isn't.

Where was the crash as I can see his death noted in the Brixworth Reg .

Hello 

There's a birth of Thomas W Jones in Cardiff district in 1925 (September quarter) with mother's maiden name Reeves.
Cardiff volume 11a page 617

and a corresponding marriage in 1924 (again September quarter) of Thomas W Jones and Ethel Reeves
volume 11a page 737

These are strong possibilities for the parents of Thomas William

Wheeltapper,

What other information do you require about the family? Would you like family history details or are you trying to find people who knew the family? (or maybe both)

Do you know whether Thomas had any siblings? If you check the freebmd site, enter Cardiff births of Jones children with mmn Reeves in the interwar period, there are another 2 children who may be related. Can't post their names on here as they may still be living, but you may be able to trace them?
