Felicity has said that one of her paternal great-great-grandmothers was Italian, from Lucca, Tuscany. She has stated that her grandmother always cooked Italian food, maintaining the cultural legacy of her family’s Italian roots.
Felicity’s maternal grandfather was Geoffrey Edwin Hadley (the son of Frank Hadley and Elizabeth Simpson). Geoffrey was born in Walsall, Staffordshire, England. Frank was the son of Thomas Hadley and Zillah “Lila” Parkes.
Felicity’s maternal grandmother is named Rose P. Day.

Her father is called Gareth Jones! So it would appear that Felicity is at least half Welsh.
she has stated:
“My dad’s family is Italian and we always had Italian food at my grandmother’s house (she died six years ago). She used to cook urns of minestrone soup and when people dropped by they’d be given a ladle of soup and some bread”

Hi Follers. Would you mind giving me some dates and locations on some of her ancestors, if you know any, or link me to your source? I can’t get any foothold on her ancestry whatsoever at the moment. No trees for any of the ancestors mentioned as far as I can find.
This are the only records I know of:
