This one has me stumped because I am not aware of any living relatives I can talk to. My Mother was born Phyllis Hartnett in 1910 and her brother Roland in 1908. I have traced them and their mother Ethel Grace Hartnett (nee Jones) who was born in Mold circa 1882. I know my grandfather left/died (uncertain which) when my mother was infant and he is not in the family home in the 1911 census the head of household there is I believe my great granfather Jones. I only know his name is Herbert from my mother's marriage certificate (he is listed there as retired bootseller). I know a few more things about him, he had a brother, Jack, who died in Golders Green in the late 60's but again I can find no trace. I also know that he drove a car and could fly a plane plus he had haemophillia B, a hereditary disease passed to me through my mother. He is the only possible source. I have managed to get back several generations in my fathers family but of my mothers there is little trace. Not quite sure where to turn from here. |
