I believe I may be a decendant of the mysterious Charles Jones (Robert Carrington). My great grandfather, Charles Wellman was born in Melbourne Australia but we could never find his birth recorded. We nearly gave up but then found a record of a Charles Jones and his sister being taken into care (or whatever the term was then - his sister died shortly afterwards) and him being linked to Mr & Mrs Wellman on his records where it looks like he was adopted by them. We then found records of their birth and their father was Charles Jones originally of Worcester UK and their mother was Elizabeth Jones nee Cowell of the Isle of Man and Liverpool uk. The children had been abandoned by their father after their mother died. Various dates correspond so we believe he is the father. All in all, he sounds a bit of a scoundrel......
