Hi Kath I will continue to look as i am not certain of the district now. Could also either be anglesey, caernarvon in that area. The family were from North Wales you see and i have looked between 1900-1943 for a Robert jones in that area and Balawas the one that kept coming up to me. Regards Jennifer

Hi there I do have my m,other's birth certificate and know her mother's maiden name it is Reynolds but i do not have a year!?

If you got the Bala birth from the birth index, it must have been a different year, as there isn't a Bala birth in 1900. Kath. x

Your mother's birth certificate will give you the names of both her parents, including her mother's maiden name. Armed with that information it should then be easier to find their marriage. OC

Hi Kath I got them from the births index, im afraid i may have got mixed uo earlier, might be my cue for retiring as i have been looking for hours now Thanks again

Hi Keith My mother was the youngest of 6 sisters. Her mother had her in her mid forties in 1943. I est her DOB as 1898-1900ish, what do you think. No idea whatsoever about the date of marrige to her parents. So i guess i have my work cut out for me but i am noting all the advice given. With thanks again

Jennifer, you need to find the marriage for your mothers parents, then get the certificate to find their ages at marriage, there is not easy way to get round this. Was your mother the first born or are there elder siblings? This may give you a starting point from where to look.

But where did you get the reference numbers for the Bala birth from? Kath. x

And to you Kathleen.

Hi keith Looks like i need to start looking again... you see i'm such a beginner. The problem with my search is i do nor really have any real dates to go by so i am having to use estimations from my mother's birth and that of her parents age at the time (approx) and the place and names. And there are so many Robert Jones out there! Thanks to you for trying though.

I can't see a Robert Owen Jones birth in any qtr. of 1900 in Bala either. Can you check again? Kath. x

Cannot see one Q3 1900, again another in Holyhead, but not one in Bala. Are you sure he was born in Bala district? Where have you got that information from?

Hi Keith July/AUG/Sep 1900 Im trying to keep up!

Jennifer what year? What census have you found him on? I cannot see him immediately, cannot see one with that ref for Bala, one in Holyhead in Q3 1891.
