Hi there,
I'm not descended from Edmund Read Jones but am interested in him as he was a friend of my g-g-grandfather, John Davies of Ferney Lawn, Kedron Brook (now known as Ferny Grove in Brisbane) in the 1860s and John appointed he and Charles Fulwood (both Bookbinders) executor of his Will and also guardian of his children whilst they remained under age and living with their step-mother. Initially he also left household items to Edmund & Charles but a codicil 5 days before his death (John died on 5 Nov 1874) negated this and willed everything to the step-mother, his 2nd wife. 
John Davies was born in Radnorshire and his family continued living in that area before finally moving to Builth, Breconshire and a sister in law of John's married an Edward Jones of Nantmel, Radnor so I had intially wondered if Edmund Read Jones was a relation but I think not.

I am in possession of my father's army records and attempting to understand, interpret and expand on them in my research. To that end if there is anyone reading this who can offer answers, suggestions, advice,or any help whatsoever I would be most appreciative :-
