Great -grandson of Robert Jones VC |

well Robert Jones is my great grand father and I'm 41 . His grand daughter ( my mum) was 74 last week and he has 3 other surviving grandchildren as well. I know personally of only one younger great grand son than myself and he died a few years ago from a life long illness . However there could be one I don't know about. Roberts Eldest child was born in 1884 this youngest in 1897. His youngest child had one daughter slighty older and she had I belive, had a son. My mother cannot think of anyone who would be about 35 now who would be a great grandson but we have not been in contact with one branch of the family in decades so anything is possible. I do know however that this person is not decended through my gran nor a great uncle and defo not through two of my great aunts. However there is a side of the family who are not decended from Robert Jones VC who get confused about their liniage. You see after Roberts death in 1898 his wife ( then 36) remarried within a year to a man some 10 years younger than herself . Went on to have two further children. Further more after my great grand mothers death in the 1920's her second husband again remaried to a woman younger than his own children and stepchildren Her name being Elizabeth the same as my great grand mothers. as to this union I know little appart from that they sometimes like to spout the RDVC connection but are not really relatives. Hope this helps. However will add that my nan was born in 1895 and was quite supprised to have twins in 1933 mum being the younger twin and nans youngest child. This guy may be a great great grandchild but I doubt if he is from my generation of the family. If u ever bump into him again ask his grand parents names and I will be more than able to help him with his family tree. also pretty easy to check out his story btw
