I am trying to trace informtion of my grandmothers relatives. She was born Laura Victoria Jones 24.5.1898 in Oxford. She was one of 9 siblings born to David Hry (Henry or Harry) Jones and Thurza Mary (don't know surname).
She married a Gilbert Thomas Roberts (born 1892 in Hereford) in 1922.

Any information on this would be truly appreciated as none of my living relatives know any more than the information already given.

Many thanks Chrisine Doherty (nee Shoobridge)

Hi Deborah

Thank you very much for this information. It has been a great help. I can confirm that Winifred and Leslie are my great aunt and uncle. Unfortunately they are all dead now but i can now track down further information about them.

If i can help you at any time i will do my best.
