Hi,
I have done a lot of my family tree but I’m really struggling to find information about my great grandad.
I’ve scoured through Ancestry and anyone that has him on their tree has the wrong person with the same name.
His name was John Jones (can’t find a birth record, but I know this from family members and on my great nan’s death cert it says widow of John Jones). He was baptised as Jack Jones on Sep 30th 1906 in Northiam. His parents were Obed Jones (son of Samuel Jones and Sarah Ann Brazil) and Phoebe Eastwood (daughter of Mark Eastwood and Mary Ann Coates).
He married my great nan Sarah Ann Elphick in 1938 in Hollingbourne and they had 5 children: Samuel, Sarah, Obed, Kathleen (my nan) and Celia.
He was never spoken about and my dad (his grandson) never knew him.
The last I can find is him living with my great nan and their children in 1939 census in Northfleet. Some time after that, they all moved to Maidstone but I don’t know if John moved with them.
I know there are other members on here that have some of the same family as me going back so hoping someone can help?!
