William Jones, born in Coventry in 1867.
« on: Monday 04 March 13 16:15 GMT (UK) »
Hello, looking for descendants of a William Jones who was born in Coventry in 1867/68.
He looks to have been raised by his grandparents, and his mother who looks to have had three sons.

William became a cycle factor and cycle agent, but was also behind a company called the Caesar Cycle Company from about 1897. He was living in Kenilworth with his wife and two daughters by 1911.

thanks

many thanks for that. Its definately him, but the 1881/1891 census state that his mother was single, and dad is not living with them :)

thanks again
