}}'''Ianto Jones' father''' did not have a good relationship with [[Ianto Jones|his son]]. Ianto told his [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] team that his father enjoyed taking him to the [[cinema]], ([[TV]]: ''[[From Out of the Rain]]'') though his sister [[Rhiannon Davies|Rhiannon]] implied that their relationship was not as strong as he made out. Rhiannon and Ianto recounted that his father pushed him too hard on the swings in his childhood and broke his leg when Ianto fell off. ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Two]]'')

'''Mr Jones''' was the husband of [[Glenda Jones]] and father of [[Ianto Jones]] and [[Rhiannon Davies]]. He worked at [[Debenhams]], but his son - with whom he did not have a good relationship - told people that he was a master tailor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Five (TV story)|Children of Earth: Day Five]]'')


He was still alive in 2005, and would forcibly stay at Ianto's flat - an arrangement with which Ianto was not happy, as his father tended to break in if he could not find the key, pass out drunk, and wake up periodically to urinate on the carpet. [[Yvonne Hartman]] offered to [[retcon]] Ianto's family, purging their memories of Ianto's father, but Ianto eventually decided against it, saying his sister deserved to have a father. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Blind Summit (audio story)|Blind Summit]]'')

Ianto moved away to [[London]] due to his father disagreeing with his life choices. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[New Girl (audio story)|New Girl]]'') However, his father found him and forcibly moved in with him.

In the last days of his life, he was hospitalised and waited three weeks for a call from his son, in vain, before he died. Ianto, dreading emotional upheaval at the thought this would without a doubt be the final time he spoke to his father, could not bring himself to say goodbye. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The House of the Dead (audio story)|The House of the Dead]]'')
