Thanks Bearkat,very interesting,I looked through the Folkestone Directories but found nothing, no Richard or Hannah Mary Jones.
Thanks also DCB for the Scinde suggestion.
Rosie99,I still cannot find any info about that address,could the Jones's have lived there?

rosie99--I cannot any records of that address,is it in any census?
mckha489--Now this is interesting,the 1921 census for this address shows a Richard Jones age 62 born Carnarvon,master mariner ret'd.Why would he name his house  Scindia if he wasn't employed by the Scindia Steam Navigation Co Ltd ?
Trying to find master mariner records.
I think Scindia House New Delhi {Government Offices) would have had a much grander sign!
Have yet to investigate further replies.

Very many thanks for the replies.
That was my post on Folkestone Memories (what an interesting site),seeing the sign again prompted me to tap the expertise always found on Rootschat.
Will now investigate the replies!

Kent / "Scindia House"

I have an  old iron sign which reads "Scindia House".
It was found on a beach in Folkestone Warren where I understand debris from World War 2 bomb damage was bulldozed and tipped.
A bit of a long shot but I wondered if anyone has heard of Scindia House as I think it must be a house name.

Many thanks Amondg.
I have found that Louise Humphries was in hospital and died in 1921,and husband Henry Thomas was buried in 1934 in Eastwell Essex.
The record I cannot find is Henry Thomas Humphries in the 1921 census?
