Father John Jones - collier

Have you got your grandfather's birth certificate? That should give his father's occupation.

No I'm thinking that's what I have to do to get this certain.
Thanks

You should always work from the present time backwards, getting certificates where necessary to confirm anything you don't know for certain.

I would definitely get your grandfather's birth certificate.
