my great grandfather-Thomas william jones-i believe was born in coleford in about 1895.He soon after moved to Teignmouth south devon where he met florence louie pearce and married .He had 5 children.The eldest was my father Alfred Jones.Although the family continued to live in Teignmouth Thomas and Florence travelled back to mile end coleford so that my father could be born in the Forest of Dean,where i have found his baptism record.The only other fact i know about Thomas was he had a brother called Jim/james.There is a family tradition that Thomas`s family were possibly travellers connected to the coal industry in the Forest of Dean.After my grandfathers death in 1950 my grandmother did move back to wales for a while with her daughter Patricia possibly to the same area.
