Find Ancestors

Im trying to trace my Ggrand fathers!! They both married an Annie Close.Firstly Reginald charles Jones c1888 then after he passed Annie married his younger brother Wyndham redvers Jones 1900. They were from the monmouthshire area of Wales, i know they lived their later years in abergaveny and abertillery.
Their parent were Griffiths Jones and Alice Bown, they married in Newport in 1888.
Anyone with info please get in touch as im not sure which way to go with the info i have.

any dates?

no sorry! but i do know that annie had two girls Rita born 27/4 year unknown and Ihlene 21/5/ 1936

I also think Regianald was the father of both.

I have a bit more info now but it goes backwards!!
Wyndham redvers jones born 1900 and Frederick anstey jones 1898 both born chepstow to frederick jones 1871(census says hes from Dingestow, Chepstow but i cant find anything) and Kate Rees 1878 (chipping sodbury). In 1901 they lived at 20 Lower house farm, Llansoy Chepstow. im having trouble finding them before 1901 census though. If anyone could help that would be great. I think fredericks father may be called john and he may also have had a brother called alfred phillip 1862 but thats just going by a marriage in parish records. kates father is poss roger rees and may also have had a sister blanche rees 1872,alfred may have married blanche.
thanks again if you can shed some light!!
