My grandfather's name was
Watkin Richelieu Jones.
He was born 26 Oct. 1874 in Bedminster, Bristol.
My great-grandfather's name was
David Jones. He called himself David Thomas Jones later.
He was born 25 June, 1850 in Llanfaredd, Radnorshire.
My father's name was
Watkin Rees Jones.
He was born 6 Oct. 1899 in Caernarfon.
My grandfather's sister, Margaret Jane, is the most up-to-date link I have
to the family. Perhaps there is someone there with knowledge of my
great-grandmother and great-grandfather.
Marion.
