somewhere in the past i started to complete a family tree, only to find that my biological father is a William Thomas Jones, i had always believed i was a Forsyth, my children and grandchildren are Forsyths ! so i find i need answers before it is too late ! born and raised in the close knit community of Higginshaw , Heyside , Oldham , Lancs England secrets were kept well, the only info i gleamed was that w.t.jones was the son of the local publican at the Flowerpot inn on Shaw rd, This makes sense because my mother was known to live on Canterbury st , directly behind it, a messy divorce and wt jones was named as my father, i belive they went on to cohabitate on a dickinson st , and thats it , i know nothing more,
