There is one of Grandma Wilmott’s brothers that I know almost nothing at all about after the emigration; that is her oldest brother John. There is no indication of his death in Australia in the NSW records and he is not referred to in the funeral notices for his other siblings, Evan, Rachel and Grandma Wilmott. It was usual for such notices to refer to those close family members still living; John is not mentioned in any of these indicating that he was dead already by 1949.
One possibility is that John returned to Wales with his father. I haven’t been able to detect any further trace of him in Welsh records. As you can imagine, there are quite a few records for a person of the name of John Jones in the records of marriages and deaths in Wales and it is near to impossible to further determine whether any of these relate to our great granduncle John., without spending a fortune buying detailed details of the death of a “John Jones”.
If any relatives or friends of the Jones family can enlighten me on this I’d be happy if you could leave a comment or contact me at trevorhazell5@gmail.com
