Looking for information on Jones family tree!
« on: Tuesday 30 August 11 04:11 BST (UK) »
Hello

I am looking for information on my Grandmothers side of the family.

My Grandmother is Eileen Emily Jones (1924-2007) but went by Emily. Her parents are Emily Eileen Jones (Jones is her maiden name and she went by Eileen) and she married George Jones.

I do not know where they were born except they were both born in 1889. George died feb 14, 1947 in Toronto and Emily died Apr 22, 1970 in Toronto Ontario.

Any information would be appriciated.

Did Emily Eileen and George have any other children or just your grandmother? If they did that might help track them down.

Do you have copies of George or Emily Eileen's death registrations? Privacy laws are still in effect but children of your grandmother (ie your parent or a sibling of your parent) would qualify as extended kin in order to purchase copies and the registrations may have information that would help with your search. If all of George and Emily Eileen's grandchildren are deceased, then you may then qualify as extended kin. Here's a link to the website:

I was going to suggest you apply for your mother's long form full birth certificate but looked and Ontario does not say place of birth of parents...

Here are 3 births/deaths in 1917 and 1922 and 1931 Toronto/York, one or all which may be your George Jones & Emily Jones once you track down your information...http://www.rootschat.com/links/0mc0/
There are only a few George Jones born c. 1889, living in Toronto 1911  but who knows, they could have just moved there from anywhere prior to or after their marriage...

You could look into the Feb 14, 1947 obituary on pages of the past, a pay per view site http://pagesofthepast.ca/

Have you tried contacting the cemetery directly? They may have additional information in the burial records.

But have not heard back yet but it has only been a day or two.

I have heard back from the cemetery but they did not have any other information that they could give me.

Hopeing that someone can help me. Tried talking to the last serviving children of george jones and emily jones but they can not remember due to dementia and confusion. Hopeing for some other ways to find out the information.

What addresses did George and his wife live at in Toronto? 
The deaths from JJs link show that both George and Emily Jones were born in England.
Death for Gladys Cook (nee Jones) - her father George of 104 Gamble Avenue was the informant and she is buried St. John's Norway.
Death for Robert in 1922 - burial at Norway cemetery and address for George was 234A Torrance
Death for Hazel gave her father's address as 167 Gamble and burial at St. John's.   Gladys was born July 12, 1917 Toronto.
There is a marriage on FreeBMD between Emily Jones and George Jones Jun 1912 Manchester 8d 357

from the children you listed as sons and daughters of your George and Emily - what was the earliest birth year?
