Jenny Don't panic! Think through everything that you DO know about this family, recording hearsay snippets too. I tracked a JONES family in South Wales purely because my mother remembered a nickname. Don't give up!

This is a long shot but as Wales is now available any help gratefully received. Looking for John JONES born 1897 if his age on marriage cert is correct, don't know where. Parents Hugh JONES and Catherine Mary JONES siblings may include Hugh,Tom,David,Henry,Annie,William,Richard but ages not known. I appreciate may be impossible but have to try asking! Thanks Jenny
