Thanks too MPG for spotting the amended birthdate; I wonder how often that happened, I've never seen that before.

Not saying its happened here, of course not, but I've seen a few cases where the dates given on the Register differ from that obtained from other records, eg death records.
Also cases where the official Death Record date differs from what the family believe is correct, in this case my Grandad's actual birthday wrt the record, and the date we all thought it was, including him haha.
Gotta keep on the ball on this job !

Apologies again Griff.

- and the next entry has 'This record is officially closed -

so assume this is Jean (Connie's twin, is blanked out).

Can just about make out the bottom of the Surname J below the surname line, + the bottom of a J (through the line at the start of the Christian Name and ..... the J in the birth date colomn.....

The 4 Jones above, the J goes through the lines.

Assume Thomas W JONES married Annie MORRIS

There is a big gap between children

Don't understand why I didn't spot that 1966 Electoral Register record, but very pleased you did !

Not the first time I've struggled to find a record on Ancestry if that's where it was, I need more practise on those ! - just aggravating as was only a few hours after it automatically offered me several similar records for my own trees.

Cheers J

ps searching a death for Annie May Jones, b1886 wrt the 1939 Register, this is by far the most likely fit that I can find in our Glos/Monmouthshire area;

Name: Annie M Jones
Death Age: 85
Birth Date: abt 1883
Registration Date: Jul 1968
[Aug 1968]
[Sep 1968]
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration district: Forest of Dean
Inferred County: Gloucestershire
Volume: 7b
Page: 335

Cannot find this in the FoD PRs.

With such a "common" name set, and no middle names, searching for later records is a real problem, as I'm sure you've found.
That said, it's possible he may have "adopted" a middle name, perhaps his father's, I've seen a few instances of this happening.

I've searched his death on FreeBMD and Ancestry, in Forest of Dean District as per your belief, without any obvious hit. A few near misses but nothing that seems correct.

It's possible his death took place in hospital, presumably Gloucester ?.
However there's still no obvious hits (based on his age & birth year) that I can see.

However sometimes errors happen, especially if he had no next-of-kin? to give precise birth info, perhaps ??.

Searching Ancestry for him in the Electoral Registers database which covers upto 1974, it gives him at Clifton Cottage for 1936, 1937 and 1938. However NOT after that, why !! ???.
Amongst the following umpteen pages of John Jones in Glostershire, there are just a few with no middle names, but not in the Forest area that I can see, some are married. These records give no clues as to age, sadly.

Searching Ancestry for Wills is equally unhelpful, as SO many of this name and none in our area.

Please Griff, are you sure you don't have any idea at all when he died ??.
