John Jenkins born abt1870 kenfig hill, glamorgan
« on: Friday 11 December 20 23:22 GMT (UK) »
So I've been looking into this for a while now and can't seem to get any good information.

I'm trying to find John Jenkins in either the 1939 census and/or a death date.

What I've got so far is John and his wife Margaret James living at 79 kingston coity rd in 1911 with William Austin Jenkins,  John James Jenkins, Mary Jenkins,  Gwladys Jenkins and Ierfyl(eirfyl) Morgan Jenkins, and I've followed census records back to 1871 with John.  I can't seem to find anyone in this family in the 1939 census except William Austin. I also can't find the death records.
I've got a ancestry family tree started called Jenkins family tree if more info is needed.

John worked in the Coal industry as an insurance salesman of some sort,  his brother, also named William Austin born1879 also worked selling insurance before he died in 1909.

Last time I see John in any records is 1918 when his son William Austin joined the military he said his dad John living at 79 kingston coity rd bridgend was his next of kin.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I've been stuck here for a while.
Thanks so much in advance,

Best regards!

Have you considered the 1924 & 1935 deaths on freebmd for John Jenkins?  They were living in the Bridgend RD in 1911

1911 shows Margaret b 1881 - there is a possible 1930 death in Bridgend on freebmd

Oh i didn't realize that the 1939 census isn't allowed,  very good to know.

I checked freebmd, not very helpful unfortunately.

I've just purchased a marriage certificate which should help.

Carolew, Do you know is there anywhere i could find an index of grave stones in the area of kenfig hill and pyle?

www.findagrave.com may be a possibility but it pre-supposes there is a headstone.  If they died so long ago - it's possible there isn't one

It won't help find their deaths
