When my maternal grandfather Thomas Jones (1905 – unknown) was demobilised from the British Army in early 1946, he was provided with a testimonial that read: ‘A good worker under supervision. He is honest.’
Reviewing and redocumenting my family history efforts to date has thrown up a few extra tidbits of information but no major errors… until today.
I’ve been blessed with very common surnames in my recent family — Wright, Brookes and Roberts. But the most challenging is my maternal grandfather: he was Tom Jones son of Thomas Jones son of Thomas Jones.
