My uncle, John Henry Jones (1898-1951) not a blood relative, was the LND bn. s/o Thomas Henry Jones, bn. Yorkley 1866. THJ was a railwayman who made his way to LND.

During WWII c. 1942 I recall being taken by JHJ to see his 'Cousin Amos' who had a large garden sloping downhill filled with roses many of which he grafted. Out of interest I've been trying to construct a family tree for the Jones' who were well settled in Yorkley Slade in the 19C.

I imagine that the mge of Amos has not yet made FreeBMD, unless he married out of area and I don't know his wife's maiden name. She was a rather strange woman and I believe the mge was childless.

In more recent years I was told that there were two Ivor James living on Blakeney Hill.

It looks as if my Amios cd be the s/o your Amos in the subject line.

If any of this means anything to you please get in touch for a little more information.
