<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello downunder,</p>
<p>Thanks for the 1911 info, I think I can settle for this Albert Jones being my man, particulary with him being just 17 and that he is with another Forest family (the Emblings) . So he was in Wales despite my thoughts otherwise.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi</p>
<p>I can find Mary Jane and William Pimble in 1911. Also Mary Jane Jones, widowed, in 1901. Her birthplace is given as Brimfield, Herefordshire in both instances. But all her children, including Albert, are listed as being born in East Dean. So if this is the right Albert, I think this could be him in 1911:</p>
