Have you used Freebmd? This shows his mother's maiden name was Evans, assuming this is your relative. His birth cert will tell you her name:

Births Mar 1916 (>99%)
Jones David T M Ellis St. Asaph 11b 497

Re. Freebmd, this is the first place to look for BMD's in England and Wales 1837-1955ish.

You can search for Jones/Evans marriages, but the names are so common that there are dozens of possibilities in St. Asaph!! Not to mention elsewhere. So the birth cert might be a must.

Thank you for your replies Jan, He married Myfanwy but they split up after the war. I will look at the BMD link and see what I can find.

Good luck Nicola. Looks like Myfanwy was a Jones too! Thank God he had 2 middle names.
