If it were me,which its not of course,I would start sending off for those births in 1901,Stourbridge and west brom ones.
True £7 a time but you may just be one of the lucky ones with a Jones!

I got my grandfathers WW2 army records a while ago,interesting reading.
He got 10 days in the glasshouse for stealing an apple to take home to my mum!

If I get a result, I'll let you know.
Thanks again, you've been a star

The other side of the family has been relatively easy (ish) - I got back to 1770s before getting a bit stuck, so I've started looking at this side now

Just to add that there was a Jacob Jones in the right place for that Harry Jones born Wednesbury in 1901,and maybe he was born just after the census was taken?

And that Jacob does not seem to be on the 1911.

Do you mean a link bewteen Jacob and the Harry in the institution - or have I read you thread wrong?

Yes a link..of sorts.
Jacob is living in Wednesbury in 1901 and where Harry says he was born on 1911 in the institution.

But as I said ,this may not be your Harry on 1911 anyway,but its looking better!

What was Harry job?would he have needed an apprenticeship for it?
