Hi all, trying to help my boss find one of his ancestors!
Thomas Jones born around 1871 in Halesowen (according to 1911/1901 census).
He married Eliza Guest (born 1874 in Dudley according to 1911 census) in 1903 in Pontypridd but already had a few children registered in his name before getting married. The children are reported to of been born in Tylorstown.
He says his father is called Richard Jones (deceased) on the marriage certificate.
My bosses Mum remembers meeting Thomas (her Grandad) so he must of been alive in 1939 as she was born mid 40's but we can not find him anywhere after 1911 or previous to 1901!!
We have tried following on the children to see if he's with one of them in 1939 but because of the names it's been hard. We've ruled out several and some of them come to Oxfordshire (where we are).
Can someone give any pointers of where to go from here or is it a lost cause?
If anyone wants any links etc to have a poke about my boss would be delighted with any help!
Thanks
Tessie
