Hi Fred. Thanks for your information and it's clear that the Amos JAMES I met c. 1940/41 is the same man as your uncle. I've had a quick look at censuses and see that Amos senr's wife was Sarah J nee JONES from Yorkley, the sister of my uncle's grandfather William James Jones.

My uncle, John Henry JONES who was cousin to Amos was not a blood relative of mine. He married my mother's sister and his father took a familiar path, joining the GWR and working his way along the railway to end up in London.

My recollections of the two long holidays we spent at Yorkley are meant to be included here but are missing, so there will be another delay.

Best,

Alan Merryweather
