Well that's funny. I asked the same information then. 

So we have Thomas - is there an occupation?

marriage in Llandeilo Graban, father Thomas Jones, labourer.

Sorry for slow replies.
George's father was Thomas, a labourer according to the 1883 marriage. He was not recorded as deceased so he may have been alive in 1883.

As you know his fathers name - have you looked for him on the 1871 census? You only mention 1881 in your earlier post

In your previous thread you have George  Jones born abt 1859.

In your opening post here, you have ‘circa 3 April 1860’ . Where does that date come from?
George in censuses
1881 - 19 yrs - abt 1862
1891 - 34 yrs - abt 1857
1901-  39 yrs - abt 1862
1911 - 50 yrs - abt 1861

Does the April 1860 date come from 1939 record?

Probate entry address ties in with 1939 entry.  Persons names on probate entry match 2 of his children so looks like birthdate is correct

Thanks Carole.
There are few George Jones around in that area at that time. Not many Georges either if he was born with a different birth surname.
There are some single Thomas Jones.
It’s a puzzle.
