Find Ancestors

Mary

thanks for the help - My mum has the details - i am heading back to London this weekend, i will see if i can get some more information and i will post sunday evening.

Many thanks

Maybe Merchant Navy records could be searched for clues to location.
I have seen record cards in Southampton archives, but can't remember which dates are covered.
Ships sailed on were listed and on the back of each card was a photograph.

Maybe there are websites where ex Merchant seamen can post about other crew members? A message there might bring information.

Hi Gwyn

I have just looked on the National Archives website,

they have 147 records of a Jones with a date of Birth in 1931 ( i dont have his DOB only the date he married my name and his age at the time)

I shall continue searching

Many thanks

I have found some more information, If anyone is please able to help

Ronald Jones, was an Assistant Steward in the Merchant Navy he lived 49 Mysore Road, Battersea at the time of the marriage, he was 23 at the time of the wedding, the wedding took place at Battersea Register Office.

His father was George William Jones and his occupation at the time of the marriage was Joiner (woodwork).

I have a copy of the Certificate of making decree noisi absolute (divorce) but it is really hard to read i wonder if anyone is able to tell me if it is possible to get another copy of the papers? and where i would go to do that.

If anyone is able to help that would be much appreciated

Many thanks

Emma
