Descendants of Evan Jones


TreeIcon.png


This family settled in Jersey in 1945 and, as such, is not an indigenous Island family. It has, however, married into such a family and is now, through them, connected to many others. The family has retained a presence and property in the Island.

This tree is based upon the work, circa 1901, of Thomas James Jones (1844-1902), which has been object of further research, culminating in a booklet by Brian Jones

Jones family page and links to other trees

In common with the majority of our trees, this descendancy has been subject to regular review by site editors and checked against Jersey church records. Trees including French ancestry have also been checked as far as possible against French primary records. It is not always possible to carry out such checks on sections of trees with United Kingdom and/or colonial content

Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

Notes and references

  1. Of the parish of All Hallows, Barking, by the Tower of London: Apprenticeship of his son Thomas, dated 2 December 1801, to John Lewis of Bunhill Row, [Islington], Carver and Gilder and Citizen and Clothworker of London: Apprenticeship Register, Clothworkers` Company. The Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) Will of Evan`s son Thomas, dated 1 March 1850, mentioning his wife, his sons George William and Frederick Jones, and the many properties mentioned below, gives the testator`s address in that year. This was Hope Villa, Willesden, Middlesex. The 1851 UK Census, a year later, features at this exact address: “Thomas Jones, Furrier, born in Bermondsey, Surrey” with Elizabeth, his wife. This entry pointed to the place of christening, of Evan`s son Thomas, as shown below. Evan`s various occupations are mentioned under “Joseph Evans”, generation 2, at the foot of this tree
  2. On marrying in 1785, at St Mary, Lambeth, Isabella gave that as her parish of residence. Her christening has not, however, been found in London, Surrey or Middlesex. Cloudsdale is primarily a Lancashire surname
  3. Citizen and Clothworker of London and, by occupation, carver and gilder, later straw hat maker, milliner and furrier (1840). His apprenticeship indenture, mentioned above, names his father as Evan Jones. He was baptised on 20 December1787, at St Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, as mentioned in the 1851 census, “son of Evan Jones and Isabella”. He had learnt his trade as a carver and gilder whilst apprenticed to John Lewis, a Carver and Gilder. He was no doubt the “Thomas Jones, Water gilder, 4, Monkwell Street, Falcon Square” [Aldgate], listed in Holden`s Annual London and Country Directory, (1811). His former master, John Lewis, was also listed in that directory as a “Watch and water gilder” of 7, Albemarle Street, Clerkenwell. Thomas`s second line of business was perhaps derived from his wife, Elizabeth Powell, as The Universal British Directory, 1793-1798, has the entry “Powell, S. and E., Milliners, Cranborn Street, Leicester Square.” Given that the 1851 UK Census, Willesden, provides Elizabeth`s place of birth in 1793 as Abergavenney, Wales, her parents must have moved to London shortly afterwards. In the 1829 London Trade Directory, 235, Thomas was described as running a “Straw and Leghorn Warehouse at 32, Blackman Street, Borough”. Leghorn, Brian Jones discovered, “is a type of straw plaiting, made from a particular kind of wheat, mainly found in Tuscany, cut green and bleached for use in hats and bonnets.” Thomas took up his Freedom of the Clothworkers` Company and of the City, on 7/4/1830, his occupation being then described as “Straw Hat Manufacturer” and address given as “32, Blackman Street, Southwark.” The decision to finally take up his freedom was doubtless made in order to take as apprentices his sons, in such a manner as to allow them to benefit from becoming members of the Clothworkers` Company. Indeed, he took as apprentice his son Thomas two days earlier, on the 5/4/1830, anticipating his own freedom, as the indenture describes him as being “Thomas Jones, the elder, Citizen and Clothworker of London”! His entries in Pigot & Co`s A Directory of London and Ita Suburbs, (1839), reads: “Jones Thomas, Straw Hat Maker, 32, Blackman Street, Boro[ugh]” and “5, Mount Place, Walworth”. The entries suggest that his water gilding business had been, by then, laid aside. His son, George`s marriage in 1840 also describes him by then as a Furrier. Certainly, Thomas Jones flourished, adding London and Surrey properties to his other assets. In his Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) Will, dated 1st March 1850, he gives his address as Hope Villa...Willesden, Co. Middlesex, and bequeaths to his son Frederick Jones “my business, carried on under his management in No.32, Blackman Street, Newington, and also at No.16, Blackman Street and at No.32, Ludgate Street, City of London”. His other sons had evidently been already provided for, as the testator bequeathed to his wife most of the residue of his estate, namely “No.69, Hill Street, Walworth, Newington, No.6, Mount Place, No.5, Mount Place, [three houses] in Stock Place, all in Walworth, Newington, and his leasehold houses at Nos. 5 and 6, Freeley Road, Kennington, in No. 9 and 10, Borough Place, and Nos. 2 and 10, Clarence Place, all in Camberwell”. His son, George William Jones and his wife were appointed executor and executrix, respectively. He was buried at Nunhead Cemetery, Linden Grove, Southwark, 10th December 1853, aged 66
  4. The register was signed by two witnesses, Joseph Jones (see generation 2, below) and Mary Powell. In 1851, the Furrier Thomas Jones and his wife, Elizabeth, were living at the above Hope Villa, Willesden, Middlesex. Her place of birth is given as Abergavenney, Wales. Her age that year was fifty-eight, giving an approximate date of birth as 1793: UK Census, Willesden, Middlesex (1851). She was buried with her late husband at Nunhead Cemetery, Linden Grove, Southwark, 7th July 1859. The National Probate Calendar records that she was a widow, of 2, Manor Terrace, Walworth, who died 1st July 1859. Her executors were Frederick Jones of 16, Blackman Street, Southwark, Straw Bonnet Manufacturer, the son, and John Holme Twentyman of Camberwell, Gentleman. The latter probably represented the interests of Elizabeth`s eldest son, Thomas, of Cape Colony, South Africa, whose wife was Sarah Twentyman
  5. Thomas Jones was born on 25 April 1813 and baptised on 25 July, at St Margaret Westminster, “son of Thomas, Carver and Guilder (sic) and Elizabeth of Lewisham Street”. The career of the younger Thomas Jones and details of his descendants, have been well researched by D L Twentyman, (see below). An important find of his was Thomas`s above-mentioned apprenticeship, dated 5/4/1830, for seven years, “to learn his [father Thomas`s] art of a Straw Hat Manufacturer.” Although Thomas junior does not feature in London`s online Freedom of the City Admission Papers, 1681-1930 at https://www.ancestry.co.uk, there is no reason to doubt his admission, as these online Freedoms contain known omissions. Twentyman found that he emigrated to South Africa in 1838, becoming a merchant at Cape Town. In 1854, he went into partnership with Henry Rudd, as “Rudd, Jones & Co: DLTwentyman Family Tree at www.ancestry.co.uk
  6. They had eleven children, including Sydney Twentyman Jones (1849-1913), LLD (Cantab.), Senior Puisne Judge (1882), Griqualand West, South Africa, two of whose sons were killed in action in France during WW1. Both were officers of the Royal Field Artillery, one of whom, a promising barrister, was killed within three months of his arrival at the Front. A grandson was Percy Sydney Twentyman-Jones (1876-1954), KC, the South African sportsman, Supreme Court judge and Jurist. This branch of the family has descendants in South Africa and elsewhere
  7. Citizen and Clothworker of London, Furrier and Milliner, described in 1886 as a Manufacturer. Christened at St Anne, Blackfriars, 14/8/1816, “son of Thomas Jones, Carver and Gilder, of Keen`s Row, Walworth, and Elizabeth”. He was apprenticed to his father, “Carver and Gilder”, on the 7/9/1831, within the Clothworkers` Company, and made Free on 7/12/1842, when he was described, as being “of 107, Oxford Street, Furrier.” He was by 1871, also an Artificial Florist, living then at 101, Oxford Street. Artificial floristry catered for the Victorian taste in millinery. His business flourished, to the extent that he became the owner of 106, 107 and 108, Oxford Street, these being both then and now regarded as prime real estate properties
  8. Furrier, of 75, Oxford Street. The surname Ince is derived from the Old Welsh for an Island [whence the adjective `insular`] or river-meadow. Places in Cheshire, Cornwall and Lancashire bear this name: B. Cottle, The Penguin Dictionary of Surnames (1969), 148. Eliza was sister to Martha Ann Ince (1825- ), who married Frederick Jones (below), Thomas Henry Ince (1830- ) and to Grace Ince (1823- ), wife in 1854 of Samuel Osborne Habershon, MD Lond., FRCP, of 21, Wimpole Street, Marylebone, with whom there was, recorded in the 1861 census as visiting, Martha Ann Jones, merchant`s wife, aged 36, and her three children, Samuel and Grace`s niece and two nephews, respectively, Annie M. Jones, Frederick A. Jones and Arthur H. Jones. Samuel Habershon was born in Rotherham, to a Yorkshire family, his father being Joseph Jones Habershon
  9. George William Jones left the family business, was an Ironmonger until 1881, after which, he and his young family settled in New Zealand. He, his wife Maria, and daughter Esther Mary, were buried in Waikaraka Cemetery, near Auckland. On the broken gravestone, George William`s date of birth is given as 3 December 1841. He died on 16 July 1923

  13. Citizen and Clothworker of London; admitted by patrimony, 1891. By occupation, Thomas, a younger son, went his own way. In 1871 he was a wholesale stationer (census), an Aart printer, and was a commercial traveller in lithography, at the time of his second marriage, in 1886. At the time of the 1901 (census), he was a commission agent. His great contribution to the family`s history, was his c1901 genealogy, covering nearly all of the numerous descendants, in both male and female lines, of Thomas Jones (1787-1853)— “Grandfather Jones” — and of his wife, Elizabeth
  14. Engraver
  15. Wool textile agent: 1939 England and Wales Register. Born in Brentford District
  16. Actor
  17. Stockbroker`s Clerk: 1939 England and Wales Register, when Cecil was aged 23
  18. Commercial Traveller, on behalf of Nestlé`s Milk: 1939 England and Wales Register
  19. Research Engineer
  20. Linen and Cotton Manufacturer. Their son, John Cordle (1912-2004), a Freeman of London, was MP for Bournemouth East (1959-1977), and the Evangelical proprietor of The Church of England Times
  21. Thomas Jones`s family genealogy has this son recorded. He has not been identified in official records or censuses. It is likely that he died at birth
  22. Mary Ann Bilson had married, firstly, in 1881, at Thingoe, Suffolk, Edward Rutherford ( -1883). They had issue a son, Edward Thomas Rutherford (1883-1967), a Marine Engineer, who lived for some years in Brazil, returning to England in 1928: UK and Ireland, Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960, at https://www.ancestry.co.uk. He settled in Jersey before the war, living at The Spinney, Mont Radier (Half-Way Hill), close to Le Bocage House, Grouville, where his half-brother, Hindley, would eventually be his close neighbour. He was married, with issue a son named Edward (Ward) Rutherford, a journalist and author. Ward Rutherford was one of those arrested and imprisoned during the German Occupation of Jersey, in his case for possessing a crystal set, in January 1945, for which offence he received a four month sentence. After the war, he was a reporter for the (Jersey) Evening Post and then for the London Evening News. He was the author of books on a wide range of subjects, including Druids, Pythagoras, the Russian Army in World War 1, The Holocaust and Rommel. He died in Brighton in 1999
  23. Agent
  24. Tea Trade, Salesman: 1911 UK Census, Prittlewell, Essex
  25. Commercial traveller. In the 1891 census, (Highbury, Middlesex), the enumerator has mistakenly recorded him as “Donald G Jones”. His birth, marriage, death and other census entries, as well as family information, confirm that the name Oswald is correct. Oswald George Jones served in WW1, at first in the Army Pay Corps and then with the West Surrey Regiment
  26. Professor of Music (1890), Composer and Musician
  27. Thomas and Gladys`s daughter, Frances Megan Anthony married, firstly, at Aldershot, Arthur Denis Caswall Dowding (1917-1940), 2nd Lieutenant, Royal Armoured Corps, the son of Vice-Admiral Sir Arthur Ninian Dowding, and nephew of Air Marshal Lord Dowding, the renowned Officer-Commanding, Fighter Command (1940). Arthur Dowding died from injuries received on active service
  28. Lieutenant, Middlesex Regiment, serving during WW1, and in 1921-1922-, of the 1st Bn., King`s African Rifles: He was awarded the Victory and British Medals: UK, British Army World War 1 Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920. Reginald Jones had been admitted in 1902 to the City of London Freemen`s Orphan School as was, later, his brother Hindley, on the death of their father, a Freeman of London. The school was well-regarded, with normal school holidays, like any other boarding school, as the conditions for entry stipulated that the school was for the benefit of those who had lost their father; the latter being a Freeman of London. Most of the pupils probably had, therefore, a surviving parent. Reginald and Lottie eventually moved from London to Hampshire and then to Worthing
  29. Printer
  30. Douglas Jones served with the Royal Air Force during World War 11, being at one time seriously injured
  31. Hilda Jones was a favourite aunt to various nephews and nieces. Those amongst them who were at boarding school received generous, much-prized, food parcels. She never married
  32. Hindley Charles Jones received the name Charles from his maternal grandfather, Charles Bilson. He attended the above City of London Freemen`s Orphan School, 1905-1913, and went into banking in 1914, at the London Provincial South Western Bank, at Norbury. In 1915, he volunteered for active service, joining the 5th Bn., London Regiment and arriving in France on 13/7/1916. He experienced the horrors of `trench warfare` before volunteering, in the following year, to serve in the Royal Flying Corps. He qualified as a pilot, having undergone Aerial Gunnery tests, flying Avros and Sopwith Pups. He was commissioned on 25/9/1917. In 1918, the Royal Air Force was formed, as a separate service, the former Royal Flying Corps members, now becoming a part of the new armed service. In that first year, however, army ranks seem still to have been in use in the new Air Force, as Hindley was promoted in early November 1918 to the rank of Lieutenant. Squadrons he served in were numbered 198N, 189N, 78 and 37. Also in November 1918, he underwent a Flying Instructor`s course, which he passed, despite being described as a little too enthusiastic and having an aversion to wind! He left the Royal Air Force on 16/1/1923 in the rank, it is believed, of F/Lieutenant. He was awarded the Victory and British War Medals: UK, British Army World War 1 Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920. He returned to banking, on this occasion joining Lloyd`s Bank. It was when working in Paris as a Foreign Banking official, that he met Yvette Andrews (qv), whom he married. With the fall of France in 1940, they were able to return unscathed to England, whereas Yvette lost both her parents when the ship they sailed on, from Lisbon, in Portugal, to England, was torpedoed and sunk, by a German submarine. After the war, Hindley became the manager of Lloyds Bank, in Conway Street, St Helier, Jersey, remaining in this role for many years. He and his wife, Yvette, lived at Greengates, Samares, before moving to Le Bocage House, Longueville, Grouville
  33. British Coal Exporter, living in Paris
  34. The family Thomas de Closmadeuc and Thomas de Beneac, belongs to the noblesse of the French province of Brittany. A forbear was Julien Thomas (1598-1658), Sieur [Seigneur] de Beneac en Guer (Morbihan), Advocate at Parliament and Senechal. Yvette`s grandfather was a 1st cousin of the eminent French 19th century surgeon, archaeologist and author, Gustave Thomas de Closmadeuc, who was made a Chevalier de la Legion d`Honneur. Yvette Jones, née Andrews, lost both of her parents on the 26th September 1941. They had been stranded in France for a year, caring for an elderly relative, and had finally reached Lisbon, intending to sail from there back to England. Their ship, the S.S. Avoceta, was torpedoed and they lost their lives, near the Azores
  35. See below
  36. Clement was recorded on Thomas James Jones`s circa 1901 tree, as was “Edward Jones” and “Jessie Jones”, but Clement, Edward and Jessie (below) have not yet been verified, nor have they yet been found in any censuses together with other members of the family. They may feature, with many namesakes, as infant mortalities. The family having been, at this date, non-conformist, may be a factor
  37. Amy was living in 1881, assisting in the family`s millinery business at 101, Oxford Street: UK Census, Marylebone, 1881
  38. LRCP Lond., MRCS, Surgeon. The 1901 Census, St Andrew by the Wardrobe, lists their eight children, there being four sons and four daughters. Alfred, himself, was born in Dacca, which was then in India. The eldest son, Leonard, became a London architect, the second son, Philip, who was then aged 12, would later qualify as a doctor, marry, and serve in the Great War as an officer in the Royal Army Medical Corps. The third son, Gershom, migrated to Australia, whilst the youngest son, Samuel married a clergyman`s daughter shortly before becoming, himself, a clergyman
  39. Of Devizes, Wiltshire, Draper and Outfitter. In the 1901 Devizes census, the household comprised Alice, her husband and their three daughters, five drapery assistants and a cook
  40. Medical Missionary in Kuling, China. Spencer Jones was in the 1881 census a former Commercial Traveller, aged 24, living in Marylebone, with his brothers Hindley Ince Jones and Newton Jones. The subsequent careers of Newton and Spencer were very similar. On the 18th January 1912, the death of Spencer`s wife, Elizabeth Spencer Jones was recorded by the British Consulate, Kinkiang District, China, as having taken place at Kuling. She was aged 56 and is described as the "wife of Spencer Jones, Missionary, Kuling": UK, Register of Births, Marriages and Deaths from British Consulates, 1810-1968, at https://www.ancestry.co.uk. Elizabeth was no doubt the "Bessie" shown on Thomas James Jones`s 1901 tree as having married his brother, Spencer Jones. The latter was in England briefly in 1923, as he sailed from London in that same year, for Shanghai, China, being recorded as having for Permanent Residence "Foreign Countries". His occupation was "Missionary". Online sources at https://www.geni.com have Spencer Jones as marrying, presumably secondly, Agnes Mary Poulsen (1884-1973, ae 89). Thomas James Jones`s 1901 manuscript family tree (above) has Spencer as being the father of Agnes Jones. This Agnes was therefore living in 1901 and will have been born to Bessie, as shown on that tree. The online source has a son named Spencer Jones born to the couple on 25/06/1916, in Beijing, China. He, with Agnes, is included, pending confirmation in his case, on the tree, above. Note: There was a High-Church Anglican clergyman and author named Spencer John Jones, born in Croydon in 1857 and dying in 1943: National Probate Calendar. He was a distinct individual.
  41. Medical Missionary. Spencer Norman Jones attended Oslo University and the Missionary School of Medicine, London (1946), before taking up a post in Chopda, India, until 1951, when he was posted to Trinidad, in the West Indies. He attended Bible School from 1955-1957
  42. Commercial Clerk, Marylebone (1881); Accountant in Brazilian Merchant`s Office (1911): UK Censuses, Marylebone and Prittlewell, Essex, respectively. Hindley`s home in the latter year was in Westcliff on Sea, Essex
  43. Agnes Elizabeth Bilson, also registered as Elizabeth Agnes, was the sister of Mary Ann Bilson, second wife of Hindley`s elder brother, Thomas James Jones. The latter gave to his fourth son, in 1897, the name Hindley, after this Hindley, who was both the uncle and uncle-by-marriage of the child
  44. School Teacher, in 1911: UK Census, Prittlewell, Essex; Company Secretary, in 1939: 1939 England and Wales Register, Southend-on-Sea
  45. Music Teacher, in 1911 (census)
  46. Remembered within the Jones family as “Lizzie”
  47. Listed by Thomas James Jones as one of the youngest of his siblings, Jessie has not been found in any censuses
  48. Baptist Evangelist, Missionary and Lecturer. Starting from 1898, the Revd. Newton Jones travelled extensively. He would also visit the United States and Canada, amongst other places, although North American destinations have better coverage online. In 1898, he was described for the first time as a missionary. He was then aged 36. Sailing to New York, some years later, in 1921 on the SS Olympic, he gave his permanent place of residence as London, and his nearest relative as Mrs Newton Jones of Northwold, Moss Hill Grove, Finchley, N. 12. His wife, Georgina, then aged 56, travelled with him in August 1923, as did their daughter Dorothy, aged 30: UK and Ireland, Outward Passenger Lists, 1890-1960. On arrival in Canada on the 31st of that month, he completed Form 30 A, to the effect that he was an Evangelist, of Baptist faith, travelling with his wife and daughter, in order to “Lecture & preach”; that he was sponsored by the National Sunday School Union and that they would also visit their son-in-law and daughter [and sister], Mrs C.J. Wilkins at Wendya Way, off Deer Park, Swansea, Toronto. Of significance was that, in response to the question as to who was the arrival`s nearest relation in the country of origin, Newton answered “Hindley Ince Jones, [of] Westcliff on Sea”: Canada, Ocean Arrivals (Form 30A), 1919-1924
  49. Managing Director, Wholesale Paper M[anufacturer?]: 1939 England and Wales Register
  50. Chartered Surveyor: 1939 England and Wales Register, Clifton Hill, Brighton. Born at Willesden Green, he was educated at Taunton: UK Census, Somerset, 1911. He volunteered for active service, joining the 28th Bn., London Regiment and entering his first “Theatre of War,” being France, on 22/1/1915. He was commissioned on 21/11/1916 in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment and was afterwards transferred, as a Lieutenant, to The Northumberland Fusiliers. He was awarded the Victory and British War Medals and 1915 Star. His home address was in 1918, “Northwold, Moss Hall Grove, N. Finchley, N.12”: UK, British Army World War 1 Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920. The Daily Telegraph (31 Dec. 1974) recorded his death, aged 79, “late of Coombe Lane, SW 20 and Lavender Hill, Battersea, SW. 11”, mentioning his children, Pamela and David
  51. Manager, Production Planning, Motor Vehicle Works: 1939 England and Wales Register. In the Great War, Gordon volunteered for active service, joining The Artists Rifles. He was later a Lieutenant, Royal Flying Corps, being at the end of the war, an Acting Flight Commander. He was awarded the Victory and British War Medals: UK, British Army World War 1 Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920. The need for First World War pilots to understand aero engines sufficiently to enable elementary repairs, when forced to land due to engine trouble or outright failure, may have led to Gordon`s later interest in motor vehicle production
  52. Existence of issue not known
  53. Architect, Surveyor and Decorator. In 1841, Edward Jones was a 20-year-old architect living in Blackman Street, St Mary Newington, in Surrey, assisted in his business by 15-year-old Frederick Jones. As ages were usually rounded off to within the nearest five years in the 1841 census, Frederick was likely to have, in fact, been his 18-year-old younger brother of this name. Edward was living in the parish of St Giles in the Fields, Middlesex, in 1845, practicing as an architect, and remained in the parish, living at 20, Great Russell Street until shortly before his death in 1879. His business varied a little. In the censuses of 1851 and 1861, he is described as a Surveyor and House Decorator; in that of 1871, as a “Builder and Decorator”. His place of birth was consistently given as Newington, Surrey, and once as Walworth [Newington]. In two marriages, his father was named as Thomas Jones, Gentleman
  54. Of Bermondsey, Leather Seller
  55. Gentleman
  56. Fanny Jones filled in the 1911 Highgate census, stating that she had six children, three of whom were living, three having died. She perhaps counted Jemima as though she were her own daughter. If so, either she or Ernest Frederick will have also died by 1911
  57. Scrivener
  58. Civil Servant; Accountant General`s Department
  59. Unmarried, living in Islington, in 1901, with her widowed mother and unmarried brothers, Edward and Stanley. In 1911, she was living with her mother and a Lady`s Companion, in Highgate. Of possible relevance, is that Edith described herself in 1911 as having been born in Bloomsbury, as did her brother Stanley in that year, in Brighton: UK Censuses, Islington, 1901, and Highgate, 1911
  60. Stanley was living in Brighton in 1911, describing himself as having been born in Bloomsbury and living upon private means: UK Census, Brighton, 1911. He does not feature in the 1939 England and Wales Register, but may have been the man of this name who married in 1912 in Willesden, Mary E. Radnor
  61. Citizen and Clothworker of London, Merchant of Graham`s Town, South Africa. He was christened in 1822 at St Mary, Newington, Surrey, “son of Thomas, Carver and Guilder, of Keen`s Row, Walworth, and Elizabeth”. He was apprenticed from 1/3/1843 for 7 years to his father, Thomas “of 5, Mount Place, Walworth, to learn the trade of Straw Hat Manufacturer”. He was made Free of the Clothworkers` Company on 6/3/1850, his father then being described as a Furrier, and on 7/3/1850 he was made Free of the City. He married during his nominal apprenticeship in 1846, being described as “Frederick Jones, Esq.” His father`s P.C.C. Will, dated 1850 and proved in January 1854, bequeathed to Frederick businesses conducted in three locations, but he migrated to South Africa within a few years, dying there in 1862. The National Probate Calendar records that: “Frederick Jones, formerly of Blackman Street, Southwark, Straw Hat Manufacturer, but late of Hill Street, Graham`s Town….Cape of Good Hope, Merchant” had died 24/6/1862. Thomas Henry Ince of 75, Oxford Street, Furrier, attorney of Martha Ann Jones, Widow and relict, and William Septimus Jones of Port Elizabeth, were the executors
  62. She was a widow, living in Camberwell, Surrey, with her three children, Frederick A. Jones, aged 23, Furrier, born Southwark, as were the other children, Annie M., aged 22 and Arthur Henry, aged 18, an Undergraduate of London, Student of Medecine: 1871 Census, Camberwell, Surrey
  63. Born in Newington, Southwark; Furrier in 1871 (see above), aged 23. He was then ordained in the Baptist Church, featuring in subsequent censuses as the Baptist Minister, Islington and then at Ilford, Essex, and Minister of the Gospel
  64. Mary was born in Bridgenorth, Shropshire, circa 1852: UK Censuses, Islington (1891), and Ilford, Essex (1901, 1911). In the latter, Mary gave her years of marriage as twenty-eight, having had seven children, all of whom were living
  65. Of Northampton, Schoolmaster: Marriage register entry (1923)

  70. Domestic Science Teacher: 1911 UK Census, Ilford, Essex
  71. Teacher of Domestic Science: 1939 England and Wales Register, Essex
  72. Captain, RAMC, in WW1, serving from 1918-1919 in Mesopotamia: UK, World War 1 and World War 11 Memorial Book, 1914-1945. He was a former member of the University of London (where he studied) Officer Training Corps. Training at the Middlesex Hospital, he was in 1939 a Dental Surgeon, practicing in Hornchurch, Essex: 1939 England and Wales Register
  73. Living on her own means at Ilford, Essex, in 1901, was Annie M. Jones, aged 52, together with her nieces, Ethel M. Jones, aged 16, and Gladys Jones, aged 14: 1901 UK Census, Ilford, Essex

  76. Master Mariner. Christened 7/11/1824, St Mary, Newington “son of Thomas, Carver and Guilder, of Keen`s Row, Walworth, and Elizabeth”. He acquired his Master`s Certificate (No. 29,043) at London in 1863, aged 39. His date and place of birth are recorded with his certification: Born Walworth, Surrey, 1824, his address being given as that of the family, 5, Mount Place, Walworth. It mentions that he passed on Steam in 1872. Attached papers describe his death: “18/1/1888; drowned, with nearly all on board the ship Oxfordshire… run down by SS Cazcapedia, in fog, off Cape Roca [Biscay], having commanded vessels 35 years without accident”: UK and Ireland, Masters and Mates Certificates, 1850-1927, at https://www.ancestry.co.uk. Note: Certification of masters and mates during the 19th century was finally enforced upon merchants and shipowners, if they wished to acquire insurance at a reasonable price. One gathers from the above that he had been commanding vessels since 1852
  77. The groom, described as “Mariner”, was given as being son of Thomas Jones, Gent. The 1851 Census entry for Sophia Jones, nee Davies, is informative as to the early career of her husband`s younger brother, Sydney: 5, Mount Place, St Mary, Stoke Newington: Sophia Jones, married, 27, wife, Milliner; Charles Jones , son, 16 months, born Newington and Sidney (sic) Jones, Brother-in-Law, 19, Medical Student, born Newington (see below).

  93. Citizen and Clothworker of London, (1858) by Patrimony; Warehouseman (1859). William Septimus`s entry to the Freedom of the Clothworkers` Company mentions his father`s own freedom in 1830 and that he was deceased. His address in 1858 was 2, Manor Terrace, Manor Rd., Walworth, Surrey. His marriage register entry confirms that his father, Thomas Jones, was deceased. He was born on 6/9/1830 and christened at Beresford Street Independent (Non-Conformist) Church on 17/10/1830, “son of Thomas Jones of Walworth, parish of Newington, and Elizabeth.” On his family`s return to Anglicanism, he was again christened, this time on 16/11/1834, at St Peter, Walworth. His date of death is supplied by the National Archives, Cape Town, South Africa (Master`s Office, K.A.B.)
  94. MB Lond., FRCS, LSA; Consulting Surgeon and Lecturer on Anatomy, St Thomas`s Hospital; Dean of the Medical School, Curator of St Thomas`s Museum and author. Born on 28/11/1831 at Newington, he was christened initially in March 1832 at Beresford Street Independent Church, and then, on his family`s return to Anglicanism, on 16/11/1834 at St Peter, Walworth, “son of Thomas, of Mount Place, Merchant and Elizabeth.” Sydney matriculated in 1850 at the University of London and was the author with Wilks of Morbid Anatomy (1860) and the Descriptive Catalogue of the Preparations in the Museum of St Thomas`s Hospital. He was also the editor of Vol. 11 and 111, Pathological Anatomy (1859).

  96. MRCS (1886); FRCS (1889); MB; BS Lond. (1890); LSA (1886): G.H. Brown, (ed.), Lives of the Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians..(1955), 440
  97. 1939 England and Wales Register: “Sydney H. Jones, retired Surgeon (blind) and Leonora Jones”
  98. LRCP (Lond.); MRCS (Eng.), latterly Physician and Surgeon, Kingswinford, Worcestershire
  99. 2nd Lieutenant, Cheshire Regt., transferring to The Royal Welsh Fusiliers, serving in France (WW1), having arrived in that Theatre of War on 21/5/1918: UK, British Army World War 1 Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920, at www.ancestry.co.uk. He was awarded the Victory and British War Medals. He entered, after discharge to civilian life, the Fur trade
  100. MRCS, etc. Temporary Surgeon, R.N., stationed at Laconia, (1/11/1914): Navy Lists (1914, 1915-). He was a doctor, at the time of his father`s death, living in Balham
  101. Citizen and Clothworker, by Patrimony 1/3/1882, his address then being 2, Salisbury Terrace, Kilburn, and his occupation given as “late General Dealer, at the Cape of Good Hope”. He was christened at St Peter`s, Walworth, Southwark, 16/11/1834, aged 2 months, the son of Thomas Jones of Mount Place, Merchant, and Elizabeth, his wife. Little is known of him after his Freedom of the City in 1882. This would be understandable, though, if he were the man of that name and approximate age who died in Camberwell, in 1887
  102. Martha, “daughter of Evan Jones and Isabella”, was christened at St Dunstan in the East, a parish adjoining All Hallows, Barking
  103. James, “son of Evan Jones and Isabella”, was christened at All Hallows, Barking, by the Tower
  104. Citizen and Wheelwright of London. His apprenticeship indenture dated 4/5/1801 describes him as: “Joseph Jones, son of Evan Jones of Tower Street, Linen Draper”, binding himself to John Pearson, Citizen and Wheelwright, for seven years. The eastern half of Tower Street is within the parish of All Hallows, Barking, which matches Evans`s address seven months later, when his son Thomas was apprenticed. However, at the latter date, Evan was described as “Porter” and in May as “Linen Draper”. Fourteen years earlier, Evan was described, at the said Thomas`s christening in 1787, as a Victualler. As with census descriptions later in the century, given occupations may indicate employment at the time, within a trade, rather than ownership of the business. The birth of Joseph Evans in 1786 does raise questions. There is no doubt that he was the brother of Thomas, who was apprenticed in December 1801 as the “son of Evan Jones of All Hallows, Barking, Porter”. Joseph`s apprenticeship indenture, dated May 1801, gave his father`s address as “Tower Street, London”, which matches Thomas`s entry in December, because half of Tower Street is indeed in the parish of All Hallows, Barking. In December, however, the father was working, in all probability, for a Linen Draper, perhaps collecting textile fabrics from wholesalers and delivering orders. When Thomas married, in 1812, the wedding was witnessed by Joseph Jones. Joseph`s birth in 1786 confirms that his father not merely bore the same name as Thomas`s, with the subsequent same 1801 address, but was indeed a porter. However, there was a problem with the circumstances, as recorded at the Holborn Lying-In Hospital: On “9th June 1786 admitted [to Holborn Lying-In Hospital] Jane Jones, the wife of Evan, Porter, aged 31. Settlement: St Edmond the King. Began 18th; Boy, Joseph, 19th; baptized 29th “. The christening was carried out, like many others, in the hospital chapel. No actual marriage has been found for Evan and Jane. One can merely conclude that Joseph was a half-brother
