Hi, I am a decendant of David John Robert Luellin Jones born in Cardiff Wales

[carolhuia.smith]

Hi, my grandad is David Jon Robert Luellin Jones. He married Patricia Harpur-Dixon, she is Scottish and Maori, her tribe is Ngai Tahu. their daughter is my mum. my mum doesn't know her dads ancestors, she only knows that his mum is Amid Mae.
My dad has done most of his family history of his parents, but now I need to continue his side and my mother's side. My granddad's name is such a common name, there are so many David John Jones on the ancestry.com site. There is so many to research.
Both my mum's parents lived in Rotorua NZ when they passed away.They were known as Pat and Taffy to our family.

What year  was David born? his mother was Amid? Mae? no fathers name?

Could this be your Grandfather?

David Llewellyn Jones Age 62Y BDM REF # 1958/23610 died 1958

You may need to buy a transcript of the death certificate to get the information it contains IE: the parents of the deceased.

Doing your family tree requires some monetary outlay, you can keep it to a minimum but essential certs are necessary, this one would be a requirement if right person.

There is a marriage in 1926 Cardiff Wales of a David R Jones to a Spouse with the Surname Llewellyn. This seems to make some sense of the name. Volume 11a Page 761. You would need the cert for the Full name of spouse. Whoops nup found it. Catherine B Llewellyn Married David R Jones.

NZ deaths index lists David as simply David John Jones and shows his birthdate as 1st.Feb 1909.   Wife Patricia's birth date is given as 2nd August 1912 (not 1913).

You say his mother was Annid Mae ??   This doesn't seem to be a valid set of Christian names and wonder if it is supposed to be Annie May?

As Neil Todd has already stated, there seems to be no David Jones born Cardiff 1909 that remotely fits the information you have unfortunately.

Do you know when he arrived in NZ?

David Jones Mum Annid Mae, no record of his father or any other ancestors.

So David was probably illegitimate? and may not have been registered with the Jones surname?
