Would he also be named William Barker Jones ?? Try a search for this, don`t forget the commas - "William Barker Jones" There are some hits for him in PWLLHELI welshnewspapers.llgc.org.uk/en/home

Hi, Thanks for trying to help--he did become William Barker Jones the same as his father but I have been trying to establish exactly when he added Barker as I am convinced he started off as "just" William Jones but I could be wrong.I will certainly give the papers the once over and thanks again Regards Tom

Hi, I must start by correcting the dob to 12 8 1890 for William Jones born Llannor, Pwllheli and I am now convinced he was registered as William Jones which is how he appears on 1891, 1901 and 1911 census entries. However it is definitely him using the middle name Barker in some of the newspaper reports in 1902, 1903, and 1907 (correct address and age) It could have been whoever compiled the reports added Barker to help identify him. I also have an old dictionary with his name as Barker dated 1907 and 1909-1911. I think I will let this go for now and just hope someone spots a baptism somewhere/sometime Thanks Tom

Hi, I have been told about a fantastic site for the Pwllheli area which I have accessed which is called yffor.com I am sorry but I do not know how to put the link on here as the second f has a ^ above it. I am confident someone will do it for me-Thanks in anticipation. Incidentally I found the baptism and quite a few more facts about the family on this site.
