Ah, interesting. Haven’t done much on the Australia side.

My great grandfather is Raymond W Paine, Cyril’s brother.

Hi,

Not a problem.

My mother is from the Paine side so was just curious as to your relationship and what research you had done.

From a Quick look the regimental numbers had just been assigned in alphabetical order based on surname
Numbers were based on joining date not surnames.

That’s what I thought, but the regimental names/numbers on this medal roll are oddly alphabetical!

Maybe lots of people joined on the same day and therefore they allocated them alphabetically.

If they were issued based on joining date then it does add some weight to three brothers joining on the same day.

Hi
I'm probably way off with this reply (I'm not great with army stuff  :-[ ) but your post intrigued me + I like a puzzle  :)

On Edward Jones' Medal + Award Roll there is also John Jones + George Edwin Jones - the same regiment + same dates of theatres of war served.

There is a family on the 1911 census - address 69 Furley St, Peckham, Camberwell London

Head: Henry Jones 48 - Soho London
Wife: Ellen Jones 43 - Chelsea London
Son: John Jones 20 - Chelsea London
Son: Edward Jones 18 - Chelsea London
Son George Jones 12 - Peckham London

It's probably not your Edward Jones but just a coincidence that I had fun looking into :)

Regards
Deb

It’s something I can look into, so thank you.

From a Quick look the regimental numbers had just been assigned in alphabetical order based on surname.

However, it could be that there is a link between the Jones’s.

Something for me to look into, as I’ve nothing better to go on!

Thanks.

Morning all.

I’ve lurked on here for a few years but never had the need to write my own post, until now!

I buy cheap WW1 medals and try and reunite them with living family members.

I (arguably stupidly) purchased a VM and BWM belonging to an Edward Jones, probably of London.
His regiment number was 705262 and he was in the 23rd London Regiment.

*begin laughter*

I have located his Medal Card and Medal Roll, but that is all.

I have no other details about his age or birth location.

I know there will be some people on here who will have some ingenious tricks up their sleeves to try and help.

I may have gone too far this time, but I have once located a Jones, so nothing is impossible.

Re-erecting an old post in case members are still on here.

I have some Callaghan's from Bolton in my tree, but I'm stuck at the point that they came to UK from Ireland.

Maybe we can swap what we have.
