A NURSE from Ontario is seeking information about her biological family who originated in Abergavenny.

Faye Clarke has a picture of her father, Bill Jones, and a press cutting highlighting his Monmouthshire roots which were given to her by her Aunt Violet, sister of her mother, Alice Jones (nee Robb).

Faye and her husband of 43 years, Harold have two daughters and four grandchildren. Faye works in a small hospital on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada.

Faye states, ‘Circumstances made it impossible for me to search for my biological parents until after the death of my adoptive parents - and by then they were deceased as well.

‘I am very keen on family history research and if anyone can tell me a little more about my parents and their families I would be most interested.’

Faye can be contacted at PO Box 47, Manitowaning, Ontario, POP 1NO, Canada.
