Greetings from Toronto:
Enjoyed reading the website which stirred distant memories. Wondering if you have any information on my grand-father who was a master at WBTS for 27 years. Retired 1948:
Herbert Jones, ex Royal Marine Light Infantry, Born January 1881 or 82. Died 1950s. Wife Emily.
Son, Herbert (Bert) - worked closely in local football with a J. Maslin - likely the Goldings man mentioned on your site. Lived at The Ramblers, Waterford.
He married May Lavery - from Liverpool, worked in Land Army at Goldings in WW2 - in Waterford Dec 1944. She shared accommodation at Terrace Cottages, Waterford with Dad’s ex-fiancee!!!
That’s all I know. Except, asa a young kid, I thought Grandad was really grumpy. It’s embarrassing to admit that when I found my dad crying after his father died, all I said was "Don’t cry Dad, it was only grandpa!”
Look forward to hearing from you,
Regards. Les Jones
