I've found who Dora married, it seems she was known as Nora which is why I couldn't find her before. I've also found one child for her, so that's another one of the list. |

As all the daughters bar Dorothy are holding children in the photo I'm pretty sure Dora must have married and had kids, I just can't find to whom |

On the 1911 census there is an R Jones with the family in 36 High Street, Tewkesbury. I believe this is more likely to be Riley than his older brother Raymond due to the age and the fact that Raymond had the middle name of Sydney. |

I had Pauline Jones (daughter of Wilfred Jones and Nellie Brown) as being born in 1939 in Upton, Worcestershire. However, this family were quite rich with businesses and relatives on both sides of the Atlantic and so a few of them seemed to travel back and forth from Canada and America quite a bit so I tend to lose track of who was where and when. Thanks for the information on Riley |

Update: I've found more information on Rose Jones. It seems sometime after her marriage to Harold Stone, they moved to Trail, British Colombia, Canada where they had at least 2 children: Wilfred Lyle born February 1910 and Margery Emma born 01/08/1911. Both Rose and Harold died in Canada, but that doesn't mean that they didn't come back for the wedding anniversary photo. How would I find out if they had? |

Update: I've found a marriage for Rose Jones in Apr to Jun 1908 In Tewkesbury but I'm unsure whether she married William George Selwyn or Harold William Stone |

Update: I've found a potential marriage for Raymond Jones and Beryl Slade in Jun quarter 1928 in Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire and a potential son born in 1932 so after the photo |

With the unusual middle name then I expect this is him. Wilfred died 1970 and provided that whoever registered the death had the correct details then his DOB is given |

I don't think Percy was one of mine, but Jones is quite a common name in my area so it gets hard at times to tell who's related and who isn't. We had Dorothy and Arthur Skeldon as having a daughter Irene P Skeldon born in 1932 but we don't have any other children for them. For Harold Jones and Violet Stiff we had daughters Margery (b. c1937), Vivien (b. 1938) and Hilary (b. c1939) but that's it. Thanks for all the information so far, marriage dates makes things so much easier |

You say children born after 1931? Seems a long time after marriage. |
