If you look for Arthur and his wife on 1911 census, you will find out where he says he was born.

What was his occupation?

Hello, going potty and crosseyed here....

This is probably a long shot with Jones being such a 'popular' surname, however I can't find anyone anywhere with the name of my Gt Grandfather WILLIAM BAILEY JONES, nor find the birth of his son, my Grandfather, ARTHUR JONES, born c1885.

I have Arthur Jones' marriage cert to Mary Esther Harrison in1910, Droylsden, Lancs, which is where I found his father's name William Bailey Jones (Pork Butcher), but I don't know whether the Bailey bit is a double barrelled name taken at marriage OR his middle name.
I'm sure this is as clear as mud.

I have been told that William Bailey Jones also had two other children, Harry Jones (who apparently died 'young'), and John William Jones (known as Jack) who went on to marry a lady called Edith Lomas. I can't find any of this info that matches what I already have.

To make things worse, a relative of mine seems to think that William Bailey Jones and possibly his sons, were born in N Wales, possibly Denbighshire, but they're not sure.

I don't even think you knowledgeable lot will be able to help me with this one but I do appreciate any help at all anyone can offer me, I've only just started looking for this blood line and am stuck already.

Thanks in advance to all x
Ruth
