Looking for John Jones, Tonypandy
« on: Tuesday 09 May 23 11:05 BST (UK) »
Not an easy name to work with but hoping someone can help.

I'm looking for the Parents & siblings of John Jones born 13/5/1902 Tonypandy, Glamorganshire.
On the 1939 Register he was married & living at Penmaenmawr North Wales & I have all the information from there on. It's the Tonypandy connection I'm hoping to find. The only other information I have is he had two sisters Margaret & Ginny & several brothers but I don't have their names.

Online softly softly

Questions.

How do you know his birthplace?

Did your John Jones marry a Gwyneth Jones in 1931 and did he die in 1968.

Did he have a son born 1936.

Could his sister perhaps be Gweenie?

John

I found an obituary notice for John in a local newspaper & it mentioned he came up to North Wales from Tonypandy, this has been verified by a family member.
He did marry Gwyneth in 1931 & died 1963. Also had a son born 1936 & a daughter later.
Not sure about the name Gweenie but it's possible. There is a tree on Ancestry but it has the wrong family for John.
I haven't access to the marriage certificate Trish & wanted to see if it could be solved before ordering one as it's getting expensive having to buy them often.
Thank you both for responding  :)

Yes it can be expensive if you have to buy a lot of Certs.

But that M/C is the only way to try and solve your problem and follow the right line.
