Help finding Grandmother birth!!!!!
« on: Thursday 29 December 11 11:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello can anyone help!!!

I have been tracing my family tree now for a while but have had really big trouble with my mothers family where do you start.

1. First problem encountered was my mother she is the middle child all being girls the two others are registered as mothers maiden name being Jones my mother is registered as being Games, if she was first or last you could say adopted etc.. but I haven't got a clue all three are still alive and they also have no idea.

2. Secondly my maternal grandmother I have looked and bought birth certificates for who we thought but to no avail I can find marriage and death records, but can't find birth records:

 Her name was Nancy may Jones B. 18-Jan-1919?   M. JAS 1947 in Pontypridd District    D. June 1985 at home in Ferndale, Rhondda. She married a Reginald Victor Smith B.  24-Nov-1919 St Pancras, London.  D.  1971 at home Ferndale, Rhondda of motor neurone disease.

3. This is the hard part Nancy's parents

Father known as a John Jones form West Wales area believed Nancy was result of second marriage.

Mother only known as Hannah no surename known she died in 1974 in Pontypridd and lived in Ferndale, Rhondda.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Tony

Hi
So we can confirm that her death registration was
Hannah Mary Jones
 2nd qtr (Apr-May June) 1974 district Pontypridd vol 27 page 1217

Its important to confirm as much info as poss - If the above is the correct women she had a middle name Mary which you did not mention! Her date of birth given on her death certificate was 14 feb 1899
cheers cardiff :)
