The poster's mother, Elizabeth, should be on 1939 with at least one closed record, but I can't see any sign under Allen, Jones, or Hickey
Not that her whereabouts has any bearing on her mother's......................

I am now aged 87 with not long left and have never been able to find any information as to Mary's whereabouts after she got married. Mary was born 1898 in Rowley Regis Staffordshire and moved to ABERCRAVE SOUTH WALES with her parents she gave birth to my mother at a young age and out of wedlock in 1913, she then married Edmund Jones in 1913 June at Pontypridd (Mary is suddenly now aged 21) and had a second child in 1917, Edmund John JONES, who unfortunately lost his life on D Day .I have no further knowledge of their life after...this date.

It would be nice if someone out there can help me find this information so as to close this chapter of my family tree before I go.
