I think the 1879 marriage of an Edith Hesketh to John Henry Thomason  relates to James Jones daughter Edith Jones b about 1835 as the marriage cert lists her as age 44.   Although the cert also lists her as a spinster I think she may have been previously married to Thomas Hesketh in 1853

This is hopefully a link to the possible 1841 census for James Jones and family on Anc

I think the 1842 and 1844 births you found in the GRO Birth Index are for the same family and the earlier John died the year he was born.

Possibly death for the first John

I had a look at both birth certs on the Birth Index - parents James and Elizabeth Jones (mn Brown) -   addresses on both certs were listed as 65 Silver St Hulme - the address where the family you posted were living in 1851.   On the 1844 birth cert the birth date is listed as 8 June 1844 and the father James was a Green grocer
