Find Living Relatives

We are looking for info./living descendants of William and Gertrude Jones who lived and worked at the Acton Reynald Estate in the late 1800`s and early 1900`s.
They later lived at Maesbury Marsh and then Pear Tree Cottage, Gwern y Brenin, where they died in 1950.
Their son Frank and wife Anne continued to live at Maesbury Wharf for several years and they had children named Malcolm, Gillian, Francis and Christine.
John Cope and Marigold Cope, nee Jones.

Where have you looked?

Do you know the birth years of the 'children'?

Or even Frank's birth year?

Apparently, Maesbury is near Oswestry.................

For some idea of time-scale....is this Gertrude?

Deaths Mar 1950 (>99%)
Jones Gertrude E 80 Oswestry 9a 175

Thanks for your interest. I do not know the birth years of the children and already knew the date of Gertrude`s death.
Thank you.
John Cope.

Is this your William and Gertrude - to help us help you
