Hi Rod....any more info to try narrow down?
Cannot find a Will, with father Frank in Wales 1881. There are many Frank Jones, and also William Jones, but cannot put them together. He could be Francis...but no son William b 1877 +/- 2yrs
Cannot find a marriage of Frank Jones in time scale pre 1877
The 1881 is free to search....http://content.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx=List&dbid=8059&offerid=0%3a7858%3a0

Thank you Cas
I am working from a family bible and family memories
William was a miner and died in Kent after WW11
Married 1903 Pontypridd Ellen ? SAUNDERS or SANDERS
He was born Dec 1877 (written in the bible but does not say where)
His father was Frank and was rumored to be a Baptist minister
Mountain Ash and Llanlley were other towns mentioned in the stories
Again thank you for your assistance

Good luck

Hello Rod
My name is stuart Howell and I am also working on the same family tree. William Jones and Eleanor Saunders are the Great Grandparents of my wife Beverley Boyes. I have a fair ammount of info re. the family but am also struggling with regard to the elusive baptist minister Frank/Francis. William's and Elleanor's marriage certificate states that William's father is a Baptist minister and his name is given as Frank although William's first son is William Francis Jones which may indicate that the name could be Francis as a family tradition.
Depending on when you receive this post please get in contact. My email address is * and we can see if there is any info that we can share.
All the best
Stuart
