Please let me know if anyone else gets more information. My dad told me that he  was Tom Jone's cousin. During the war he went to visit the family & met  Tom,  as a boy. We have been stuck every other way so thought I 'd try this angle.
My family wants to make the connection from here in Canada to England.  My grandfather would not give any info of his family except that he had  left home & never saw his parents again. His dad was some kind of a minister (dead end in my search) & my grandpa owned a pub & rifle range. His info is William Woodward, born June 8, 1868 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire Eng. , died Sept 18, 1951 wife Alice Hannah(Robinson) who had 2 children &  8 more together. So its a large family here looking for our roots. We are having great difficulty, perhaps names or dates were changed.

I have just been able to phone Tom himself and he does remember a william Woodward however he is unaware of any connection to Wolverhampton however it is possible that Tom is not aware of Wolverhampton but he cannot recall at this time the maiden name of his wife and he has not confirmed the name Alice as it was a very brief call before he went to an appointment he is on the other side of the world so it is difficult to speak to him for long I hope that this helps I am currently looking through the enormous family tree some of the names mentioned so far are on the family tree others are not I hope you find out either way
