Ffinnon Groew, now more usually spelt Ffynnongroyw, is a small village on the Flintshire side of the Dee Estuary. Albert Trevor Jones was born here in 1897, as were his brother and sister after him. His mother was born in the nearby village of Mostyn. Their father, head teacher at the local elementary school, came from Camarthenshire, the village of Ponteyberem in the Gwendraeth Valley. Father confirmed the inscription, the family's address, where the name of their house in Ffinnon Groew is the name of the valley in Camarthenshire where he was born.
