I think that somewhere in there you will find William Jones married to Elizabeth Herbert, this would account for my grans rhesus negative blood group. there were 3boys who fought in south Africa all of them getting awarded medals etc all Joneses  - blond hair and blue eyes... there is a close connection to the Army, ( I think also Elizabeth Perry  came from Devizes  and then back to Cornwall) George's wife was the cook at the big house in Corsham owned by a Captain Fuller my Auntie Nell also worked there and so did Auntie Eaddy
George and his wife are both buried at the Chapel in Neston they were caretakers there.
Richard Jones is buried in the graveyard attached to the Parish church . He married one of the Chivers girls
think that is the lot for now  hope it is some use to you....

sorry, but there were 2 boys who were killed in WW1. just took it for granted that they would be the oldest 2... the person to ask is Rosemary Cainey  wife of James son of Gilbert or Harry   , she lives in Walcot Bath. James did a full and extensive family tree .  Are you descended from James of Anthony  Plymouth???My Grannie was  probably the youngest  child she died in 1971. All the information I got was from Auntie Betty  Edith's daughter, and Auntie Miriam who was Nellies daughter, both have since passed on . I have a cousin  Nicholas Drew  who lives in Plymouth - no , the last time I saw him I was about ten years old- he went into the Navy triedto get in touch in 1971 when our paths crossed , I was married to an Airman and living in Cyprus  and Nicky was on Hms Hermes. But because of my pregnancy they wouldn't let me go out to the ship....He has 2 sisters - one in Falmouth the other in Birkenhead.Beware there are 2 Jones families in Corsham - one in Elley Green and are they related  not sure ....my e- mail address is Vickyetaylor@hotmail.com  you may get in touch with me at any time - don't leave it too long  I am 72years old.....

My grannie was Barbara jane jones b.1894   she had brothers Ralph and Earnest both in the Guards who were both killed WW1 and are buried in France. There were  lots of relatives  in Corshamside  and Neston. She had another brother Fred  who became a policeman  married Olive and moved to Bristol and then London they had twin girls.A sister Alice who worked at the Wills  tobacco factory in Bristol  , Joyce who lived in Devizes, Edith who married Tom Sawyer and lived with her daughter in Stafford, and my favourite Auntie Nell - Ellen - married James Cainey and lived at Walcot Bath.There was a George - yes the Edgar Hansard Jones  was his son and a few more all with Posh names - he worked at the big pit at Blaenavon and then on the Railway at Swindon.There was also a relative who owned a mink farm inCanada- they visited in1950. James jones was in the marines and lived at St Anthony Cornwall he boxed for the Army...I believe they originated from the Forest of Dean  a lot of them ending up as miners at Blaenavon.Can give you more info  if needed got most of mine from the Mormon website.Excellent.
