I should of said i have been down that road no marriage for arthur either, its strange because alfred and arthur ended up with two sisters gertrude bishop and celina sophia bishop i can find there parents no problem, Arthur was described as a hawker, when his son price was born and i know alfred was a farm labourer, who moved around a lot, perhapse it was the gipsie in them and they did not believe in marriage, its so maddening i could scream, jackie |

So if Arthur married, you could hunt out his marriage and find the fathers name, even if you have to go about it the long way , by obtaining Prices birth cert, which will give you his mothers maiden name to hunt out the correct marriage and hence find the fathers name for them both Jess |

Thanks for trying to help, fact is grandad did not marry gran even though they had ten children, they have all passed away now so i have no one to ask, all my older cousin can remember is that when he was young he visited rellies in builth, and i know grandads brother arthur was living in Llanidloes in 1913 when his oldest son price was born . I just dont know which way to turn, jackie |

You need your grandad's marriage cert. That will give his father's name and help get a better match in 91 and possibly 01 |

Jackie, you have so little to go on, is the main problem . There must be thousands of brothers called Arthur/Alfred Jones in 1891, born in Wales. Is their really no way of finding out anything else? Where and when did you grandad marry? - that might help a bit |

grandad alfred jones born circa 1883, all i know is the builth area of wales and that he had a brother called arthur born circa 1875. I did find a family in 1881 that might fit the bill but it is a long shot, They were a travelling family and they could of ended up anywhere in England or Wales by 1891 could anyone please help or advise,thanks jackie |
