Great grandparents

[lisamarie93]

Hi im looking to trace my great grandfathers parents and other family members.. his name was william samuel jones and he was born in 1914/1915 in the caernarfonshire area of wales.. i know he married my great gran laura francy hewitt but i dont know his history.. i believe his possible father lived at 25 clarence street bangor as ive traced a relative to that address in the 1901 census.. there were 3 sons at that household in 1901 and one has to be my great grandfathers Father

Welcome to RootsChat 

Do you have your grandparents marriage certificate which should name William Samuel's father?
 
I think this is the marriage from FreeBMD if you don't have it - Laura F Hewitt - William S Jones    March Qtr 1937  Bangor Vol 11b Page 814   If you don't have it you can order it online from the GRO using the reference numbers https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/menu.asp    It's free to register

Added - There is a family tree on Anc if you have access which lists him as born  11 June 1914 with parents Griffith Jones b 1875 Conway and Margaret Ellen  b 1877 which could be this family https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7VJ-6DV but I would stress that the tree is unsourced and needs to be treated with caution. You really need the marriage cert.  Jones is such a common surname

I wondered about this one as the tree owner lists no parents for possible mother Margaret Ellen or marriage for William Samuel' s parents

Sep Qtr 1914   William S Jones mmn Williams Bangor    11b   768

Sorry - a marriage is listed for the parents as 8 November 1900  Holyhead, Anglesey but the wife's surname is listed as Williams  and the husband Griffith Jones was a Bricklayer from Bangor (the marriage is online on F M P)

Welcome from me too.  Have you had a look for William and Laura in the 1939 Register?  That should provide exact birthdates.

Welcome to rootschat

Have you tried looking for William & Laura on the 1939 register, this should give their birthdates.

Could this be his death registration
William Samuel Jones
Birth   11/06/1914
Death 05/1997 Bangor Caernarvonshire

also Laura's
Laura Francy Jones
Age   86
Birth 8 Oct 1916
Death Registration    Nov 2002
Bangor

I wonder whether William’s 1914 birthdate has been switched round in some records - 6/11 or 11/6?
