The Lighter Side / Re: How do I tell them?
« on: Thursday 27 February 25 14:51 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfather, Richard Jones, married Elizabeth Jones.   The witnesses were Joneses and no prizes for guessing the surnames of the officiating minister and registrar.   Fortunately I was able to trace my grandfather’s family back a few generations.   No such luck with my grandmother’s family, despite her mother’s maiden name being Clayton.

For my own amusement I followed a number of trees posted on the internet back in time.   They appeared to be linked to some of my Welsh family members.   They inevitably went back to Welsh nobility, princes and even royalty as far back as the second century AD.   A similar phenomenon occurred with an American in law's tree.  The family emigrated to the USA from the London and south east England region but purported to have their origins as Welsh and indeed Scottish royalty in early Medieval times.
One can only conclude that the population must have been extremely small and virile or there has been some very imaginative research.
Comments please

World War One / Bernard Victor Dudley
« on: Monday 04 November 24 12:51 GMT (UK)  »
Bernard Victor Dudley was born in Market Deeping, Lincs in 1893, the son of Arthur Thomas and Almena Dudley.   In 1911 he was working as a wheelwright in Quadring, Lincs.   In 1915 he was in military service with the Bedfordshire Regimant.   He apparently survived the war as no record of his death is shown on CWGC site.
Any information on this soldier much appreciated.

Hi Cas, long time no speak.   I have been inactive for a while but now OK.   Hope you are keeping well also.   Thank you for your information on copyright, I thought the census was in the public domain.   I would hate to infringe copyright or indeed to induce others to the same.   Glad to see all my uncles and aunts (and father ) are still at home.
Best wishes, Dave  :)

Cardiganshire Lookup Requests / Jones Family in Aberystwyth - 1921
« on: Thursday 16 May 24 15:02 BST (UK)  »
If some kind person has access to 1921 Census, I should appreciate a lookup for the family of Elizabeth Jane Jones, born 1877 Trefeurig, widowed, possibly living in Greenfield Street, Aberystwyth.  6 children, possibly not all still living at home - all surnames Jones - David William 1900, Richard Trefor 1902, Ceinwen 1905, Thomas Isfryn 1907, John Alwyn 1910 and Elizabeth Ann 1912.
Father was killed at Mametz in 1916.
Thanks in advance, Dave

World War Two / Royal Air force Enlistment - Thomas Isfryn Jones
« on: Saturday 26 August 23 08:20 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find some basic information about the enlistment and subsequent RAF service of Thomas Isfryn Jones.   He was born 23 August 1907 in Talybont, Cardiganshire.  Married Daisy Jenkins in 1937 and lived in Aberystwyth.   Being over 30 at the outset of the war, he was probably called up later in the war and joined the RAF possibly in Penarth.   I believe most of his service was undertaken on bomber bases processing post bombing raid photographs etc.
Any information greatly appreciated
Dave
