Elizabeth Jane Breach & Yruth Nordstrum

[Riverdoll]

I have only just discovered this discussion while working on research for Agnes Selina MILES and the BREACH connection. My husband is a direct descendant of the youngest of Agnes' 8 children, Charles William Evelyn JONES who was born on the day that his father died (9 Mar 1886) and was given his full name. Do you need any further information or pictures of Agnes during her Australian time?

Hi Riverdoll - yes I  would appreciate just a brief outline of Agnes Selina's Jones's desc. I did hear from Kernow from Cornwall, Eng., and her husband is a g grandson of Agnes. He married Henrietta White while  in Eng.with the AIF in WW1, she died soon after the birth of the daughter and a sis-in-law brought up the baby...... There is evidently a lot more to all this which she didn't pass on to me so send her a personal reply (hit her name on my Rootschat data) and you may get it all. Perhaps you know all this. I have a Bromham, Wilts. Eng. Breach Family Tree and some photos of various Moses B's and Gee's from there if you would like them. I would be pleased to have a photo of Moses B who came to NZ  his sister  Hannah Miles and Agnes. Send me a personal messge with your email contact so I can do that. My Eliz Jane Batten/Ovenden married Moses in NZ, an unhappy marriage in the end and I would like to find where she died ? drowned. Glad you made contact. Amazing how connections keep on turning up!!

Agnes Selina Miles married Charles William Evelyn JONES 31 December 1874 in New Zealand. We have not been able to find out exactly when they moved to Footscray, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. Their children (some born in NZ) were:
Edith Evelane JONES (known as Evie) who married George MILLER
Charles Frederick Palmer JONES (known as Fred) who remained a bachelor
Agnes Helen JONES - an infant death
Walter Trevor JONES who married Elizabeth (unknown surname)
Life Hubert Henry JONES (known as Harry) who married Amy THOMAS
Isobel Georgina JONES - infant death
Arthur Francis Frederick JONES who went to UK (he married Elizabeth Temperance Amelia WARD
Charles William Evelyn JONES (Jnr) who married Eva May ELLIOTT
Charles WE Jones (Snr) died on the same day as his last son was born.
Agnes Selina MILES/JONES brought up another child William (Bill) JONES whose history is not known. He married Annie Matilda Catherine WARD (a sister to Elizabeth WARD).
Some time after her youngest child married, Agnes Selina went back to New Zealand (escorted by her bachelor eldest son Frederick) to marry William McCATHIE.
I hope that helps.  I will follow up your suggestions. Thanks. Lyn Clark
