i dont think she had a middle name well its not on her certificates i have and im not sure bout any siblings

I see she didn't use a middle name on marrying. If all other info is correct, there are 3 matching births. Her father's name isn't quite as common as some, but struggling to see her 1911, at least with father who was a farmer.

Births Dec 1908
Jones Mary Pontypridd 11a 668
Jones Mary Pontypridd 11a 582

Births Mar 1909
JONES Mary Pontypridd 11a 634

Did she have a middle name, or do you remember if there were siblings at all?
