I have his police records and he was a bit of a bad boy being demoted to constable by 1931

I have a marriage certificate for one of his daughter's that I didn't realise I had ordered months ago that says he his occupation was a lieutenant in the Queen's own regiment so I suspect that may be the answer

Thank you everyone

Thank you

It's 15th April 1891
I guess he could have been stationed anywhere in ww2
I have his police records so I know he was in Norfolk in 1931 and also he died in Norfolk in 1958 but the bit in-between is unknown

Family History Beginners Board / Captain mystery

Hi
We have a mystery in our family that I can't seem to solve.
My 2x great grandfather David Stanley Jones b. 1891 in Carmarthenshire died in 1958 and he has the title of captain on his gravestone but I don't know how he earned that title.
He was a grenadier guard in ww1 (reg no 15650) after ww1 he was a police officer in Norfolk constabulary but only made Constable
I wondered if anyone had access to ww2 records to see if this is where he acquired the title or if it was a lie that got believed enough to be put on his gravestone
Thanks
Danielle

Thanks for your reply

This is probably a long shot request but here goes.
I'm looking for the mother of David Stanley Jones b.1891. he has an older brother John b.1884 and older sister Annie b.1887
I know his mother is called Mary Jones as I have David Stanley's birth certificate.
Mary's husband was also called David but I can't find a marriage certificate for this marriage. Husband David married again in 1893. He married Phoebe Howell and was listed as a widower. I can't find a death certificate for Mary.
I hope that all makes sense and sorry for the long request
Thank you
