Hi,

Does the death certificate for Thomas Carl Jones in 1987 give any clues as to his wife's whereabouts? Was he a widower, who registered his death?

Assuming she died earlier a potential maybe - Mary F Jones Age 40 Dec Quarter 1951  East Ham Vol 5a page 26. Or is it possible her death could have been registered with the surname Watson - Mary F Watson Age 55 March Quarter 1967 Birmingham Vol 9c Page 346

Both a bit of a long shot I'm afraid.

The 1951 death was Mary Frances Jones

Unfortunately the deaths gap in GRO online includes 1967 so can't check what the F stands for

Ref reply 8 - do you have the adoption record?

Yes I have it. It simply says that after hearing the evidence of the person's involved, the adoption was allowed to procede. I wonder if the county court involved might have a full transcript in their archive?

Just a thought re reason for adoption.  As it was wartime - if the husband was serving in the forces - many wives had affairs resulting in illegitimate births.
