Hi all, having a few problems Tracing dad's family info I've got is Father Arthur Jones born in Cardiff ? in 1916 Married Alfreda Sweeting born 1912 also from Cardiff i think, i believe Arthur had brothers called Frederick and Howard and sisters Alwyn and Dorothy, Dorothy married into the Broome family, only info i have about them is that one of the broome family was a show jumper who won bronze in 2 Olympics and was a European champion (many years ago) any info would be much appreciated as i know Jones is a very popular name and i haven't really got much to go on. Many Thanks Lee
