Trying to findthe parents of Robert jones or indeed his wife Dorothy Davies. Dorothy was born in Mostyn area of North Wales, Robert possibly born in the same area or Huyton Quarry, Liverpool.

I have all information about their children, just wish to go back further. Thanks in advance.

Thank you/ This looks very promising. I have google mapped the areas in Wales and they are all very close so I think it is Dorothy's father.

Does anyone know how I can work backwards to find these relatives?

Its so much harder finding the generation above rather than below :S



Thanks,
