Hello Eirwen,
We've already been in touch, I've opened my tree for you on Genesreunited . With regard to William Henry Jones . I have William Henry Jones born 2/4/1880 and bap 16/10/1881, his parents were William Jones and Mirah Beach.I know your grandmother Kate Robins was my grandfather's sister,their mother was Ada Beach and Mirah was her sister .
I have Ada's birth certificate and she was born 24/6/1868 at Whitecliff. Ada married James Henry Robins (known as Henry) on 18/3/1884,her age on the certificate was 20yrs, but she was actually not yet 16!.
Another twist ....Henry's father (Henry snr )married Ada's mother on 31st Jan 1881....Henry and Ada were stepbrother and sister .
Back to William and Mirah...I think you mentioned the witness on Kate's marriage was a William Edward Martin , your Wiliam Henry had a sister, Louisa and I have a marriage for a Louisa to William Edward Martin on 5/1/1902 at Coleford , which would fit in for you .
Hope you can follow all this ,sometimes it's not easy to write it all down!!
