Thank you very much. thats great.

No luck with the 1851 but this looks like Benjamin's birth reg:

Births Sep 1840 (>99%)
Jones Benjamin Thomas Bristol 11 176

Hmmm, still fathering children aged 64yrs.
Although, with a wife 30yrs younger and no TV to distract him, it's possible I suppose.
Think I'll go for the father in law idea.
Wonder who/where hubby was.

Typical of my lot, a proffession that no ones heard of, and a mother who was a widow.
How helpful is that when you're trying to trace them

If it's any help, W G S Jones had a daughter wit a middle name Rosina

Given the age of children in 1891 then this might be the parents marriage

But you would still need the marriage cert of William to Rosina to prove any of this information posted on the thread

between 1873 and '75

Births Jun 1875 (>99%)


JONES William Bristol 6a 53
Jones William Bristol 6a 55

I can remember as a child an Ada, Ivy, Fred Vera, Constance, and Norah, as W G S Jones's siblings.

Some more siblings on pilots.

Thanks for that.

William G S Jones was "MY" grandfather, and it has recently come to light that my wife has distant relations called Jones that came from the same area.
Haeve not found a link yet but that might be because I have not got back far enough.

duplicated :) but may be worth noting W H Jones was a Ferryman/barge .... sometimes this runs in family
