As John Henry was born in 1912 this seems unlikely. What perplexes me is that it says John's mother's maiden name is Layden. This was the only record for Doreen Layden though...

You will note that the mothers maiden name was also layden. This is the Layden family in Oswertry in 1911. There are 2 grandchildren but none of the daughters are married.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, I HAVE JUST REALISED I SHOULD HAVE PUT , HIS MOTHER ;S NAME WAS LAYDEN, BUT WHETHER SHE HAD MY DAD BEFORE SHE WAS MARRIED, I THINK THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY MAY HAVE BEEN JONES.
