Hi
Am still trying to find my birth father od his brother,Martin Thomas Jones born nov 1944 Welwyn Herts to parents Harold and Mary jones nee Westwood or Christopher Harold jones born Feb 1940 to same parents..Their Mother died 11 days after martins birth..I have some info on these brothers but they seem to have vanished into thin air as no one heard or seen anything of them for years..I would give anything and everything just to know my father or just find out about him..Martin was married in 1969 to Madeline Nacy nee Jarred then again in 1971 to Particia Catherine Byrne..
Any help greatly appreciated.

Have you tried looking on 192.com? They have the electoral rolls on line.
Good luck,
Liz

Hi liz...You name it i have tried it...Have even spoken to a Private detective but he says as Jones is such a common name it will cost thousands so i think i will give that one a miss....

Thanks anyway

Did he have any children from his 2nd marriage? In an attempt to get away from the Jones name, perhaps he had a daughter who married someone with a more unusual name, or a son with unusual christian names! There are 91 births on Ancestry for Jones, mothers maiden name Byrnefrom 1984 on. Do you know where he might have lived? Was Byrne her maiden name? It may have been a 2nd marriage for her, too.

You could go through the Jones births 1971 on, looking for those with mothers maiden name Byrne - well, if it was Byrne. Then you can look for marriages of the children - they are indexed on Ancestry, and try to find them in phone directory or electoral roll.
