My mum never knew her Father - Ronald Jones, all i know about him was he married my nan Joan Jones on 27th Feb 1954 at the time of the marriage Joan was 21 (born 5th Feb 1932) and Ronald was 23 (DOB unknown). They divorced on 21st march 1958 and it was made absolute and the marriage was dissolved 24th June 1958. They had a daughter Kym born 27th April 1956 (my mum).

If anyone can please help that would be much appreciated, even trying to find more information about him, or if you know where i can look that would be most helpful.

Hi Emma - check in Search Trees top of this page to see if there are any connections on this site

His father's name and occupation will be on the marriage cert - unless he was illegitimate

Where did they marry as I cant find it,was Joan's maiden name Jones?

Maryb

40 marriages for Ronald jones in 1954 alone bit of a tricky one to find

As Emma knows their ages, we have to assume she has the marriage cert............

It might help to know where the marriage took place

Not sure that this refers to England/Wales...............can't see a 1956 birth as quoted

Maybe around London as Kym was born Wimbledon 1956.

Joan Graham

Looked in search for Joan best and Joan graham,no Emma with them in her tree.

Maryb

Two other GR members have KYM in their trees - try contacting one, or both, of them.

Maryb

Did you get your birth info for Kym from a tree search on here?

Or did you manage to find the birth reg'n?

Off here,one of them is Emma Davis who posted this thread I think.
I can't find the registration though on Ancestry.

Maryb

We can't find Kym as it is spelt Kim.

I have found it but i won't put details on here.
If it is correct one her mum was nee Graham.

Same as the marriage posted previously.

Maryb

My mum could be Kim but i have know her as Kym,

Ronald's Dad was George William Jones
Occupation Joiner

My nan Joan Jones her madien name was Graham

If you are able to find anything that would be great

Many thanks

How old was Ronald?

Ronald was 23 when they got married

Has you mother ever said whether Ronald had any siblings?

My mum knows nothing about Ronald him and my nan divorced in 1958, my mum never know him, my nan never said mum about him, and had my mum believe that he had died.

Hi,

Kim birthday certificate states place of birth as 12 the downs, Wimbledon, her father was Ronald Jones, and her mum, Joan Jones, Formerly Graham, of 95 altenburg Gardens, Battersea, Fathers Occupation was Steward (Mercahnt Navy) the birth was registered onthe 1st May 1956.

Sorry i was unable to reply earlier, i had to dash off as i was at work.

Does anyone know of where i might be able to find out if Ronald Died. One story my mum was told by her mum was that he eloped to Australia taking her half brother with him, we have since found her half brother, but he had a different father to my mum, so we know that story is not true. another story is that Ronald died in a car crash, just after my mum was born which we know is not true otherwise they would not require divorce.

We do not know whether he died, it is possible that he is still alive my Nan, Joan died 13th April 2008,

If anyone is please able to shead some light, or give me any hints on where i might find further information that would be great.

Many thanks

Emma

Do you have Ronalds occupation and address at time of marriage.

Would there be any clues on divorce papers i.e adultery or desertion etc.

George William Jones the joiner seems elusive aswell.

I have been trying to pinpoint a marriage for him but no luck.

I have tried to find him in phone books around the area,again nothing.

Don't give up though.
