WW1 items contributed by Jenny Morris
This is a collection of items contributed by Jenny Morris at Pontardawe during the WW1 Roadshow as part of the ‘Welsh experience of World War One’ project.
‘Welsh experience of World War One’ was a national project led by the National Library of Wales in partnership with the libraries, special collections and archives of Wales is aiming to reveal the hidden history of World War One as it affected all aspects of Welsh life, language and culture. The public were invited to be a part of the project by bringing their materials along to one of a series of events where staff will be on hand to scan letters, photographs, certificates, postcards, diaries and any other documents or memorabilia. 5 successful events were held across wales by People’s Collection Wales staff (Caernarfon, Ruthin, Brecon, Haverfordwest and Pontardawe) to digitize items from the public to share on the website.

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have been building my Family Tree and the husband of my great-aunt Eva was the brother of Jenny's father Elton A H Jones. Eva Tuff married Alfred Yhyr Douglas Jones-Penderel in 1932. I would love to get in touch with Jenny or any of her three children to find out more about Alfred, Hubert and Elton. The People's Collection Wales no longer hold a valid e-mail address for Jenny Morris. Thank you in advance. Stephen

Hi Stephen, it's not clear from your above message when you posted it. Have you had any luck in the meantime with contacting Jenny Morris? I am interested in contacting her, too. I am not related, but have an interest in Hubert Wilson Godfrey Jones-Penderel, who was known as Godfrey, as he was a pilot on 41 Sqn RAF April 1923 to July 1925. I am the Sqn Historian and am working on biographies of all of the inter-wars pilots. I have a website at http://brew.clients.ch/41sqnraf.htm with basic details of each man (including H. W. G. Jones-Penderel) and I can be contacted via the links on the site. I was interested to note, as well, that Godfrey's brothers also adopted the hyphenated Penderel surname, Godfrey having done so in 1928. Do you know why and the specific significance of the name? Thanks (01 March 20)
