Dear Grace
Thank you very much
Could you give me the information about James Jones gas store worker could be Rose dropped her age because of the difference. also the marriage details. With both my parents dying in the seventies and Auntie Alice I have no one I can ask about
their parents and siblings. I am only going on my childhood memories. James Jones was a gas Foreman deceased on moms wedding certificate so this James could be a possibility.
I sent for quite a few certificates and the one not received is Violet Jones mother Pearsall 1915. I am sure James and Rose had a large family. My mom Edith was born 1918 Alice 1913 I am sure Violet 1915 moms birth address was 9 court 7 Richard Street Birmingham registered in Aston. I wanted to see where Violet was born. On familyrelations I payed to see all Jones born mother Pearsall. My mom came up of cause and Auntie Alice and Violet.So the others were born before the mothers name was put on the listing
From my memories I am sure there is a Lucy, James, could be Frederick, might be a Beatrice, Alice ,Violet, Edith, I believe Mom was one of the youngest.
I have no knowledge of Roses or James family. . I might risk sending for the 1902 marriage certificate, but I have no positive proof who the parents of Rose and James were.
I met an auntie Lucy who had a husband David I always thought she was Moms sister. ??? I feel she was. no idea of her married name. I definitely Know mom had a brother James and I knew my Auntie Alice and her family closely, I have asked my eldest cousin son of Alice if he remembers more but he does not. On the 1945 voters list 114 Berkeley Road East Rose and Edith and Alice Webb married name are there. Mom married March You know 1945 I remember her saying her Dad was a firewarden??
I do not think Dad liked Mom to see her Mom ,,she visited quietly I remember going to a old people type home to see her once. where I do not know. or when she died . When I type this I realise no one said surnames only Auntie so and so. It is driving me !!!!! :crazy2: Dad Leslie Oakley had a sister Dorthy do not know married name lived near the Yew tree late fifties -sixties could have been seventies. Dads parents were in their eighties when they died in 1956. I was about 7 you see Dad was 39 at the end of the war. He was in the Royal marines from 1924 till 1936 then back in again for war probably still on the active list when after he was demobbed in 36. His parents were 29 and 31 when they married. So many relations who were cousins a lot older than us. I just accepted when I was a child that we did not see all our relatives, and we did not ask our parents or were told not to ask. I was here in Australia with young children when both my parents died, and I still miss my Mother after all these years. My then husband was not in close contact with his parents he was in foster care. So my children missed out on Grandparents also. My five grandchildren are lucky because paternal and maternal grandparents are in close contact and we love them to bits,, warts and all. :smitten:
enough of this waffle thank you Grace for your help and the other Brummies who have been so kind.
Regards Pam
