I came across this Scavenger Hunt after Googling for William Warrington Jones,
my great great grandfather. He (the b.1813 one) was my father's mother's father's father.

My copy of his marriage (to Susannah Jane Cheeseman) certificate, purchased from
GRO three months age, clearly shows the witnesses as William Wiggs and Sarah
King Wiggs x her mark. Date is April 7th 1845. His father is William Waddington
Jones, Shipwright.

The informant on William Warrington Jones (c1789-1855) death certificate is
Susannah Jane Jones of 1 Bridge Street. When and where died: 9th January 1855,
18 Green St. Nicholas (Deptford). Occupation Shipwright.

Please can someone tell me about this:
17 Jun 1836 Inquest on death of Jane Sarah [sic] Cheeseman returns a verdict of
manslaughter against her aunt (Robert’s wife) Jane (see attached file for
relevant newspaper article), or possibly send me the attachment.

Hi red rover,
Great to find another Jones descendent, I was beginning to think I was the only one in spite of my grandfather being one of 14!  I've sent you a PM.  The inquest (transcript from the local paper of the time) is attached to message five in this thread and doesn't make pleasant reading.  I'm not very far from the Greenwich History Centre in Woolwich and have been working my way slowly through the various Deptford parish records, trying to sort the Jones's into some semblance of order.  Hope to hear from you soon,
Best wishes,
"cousin" Ermy

Hi Ermintrude

I have just started to trace my paternal family tree and found that my great great grandfather's mother was Susannah Cheeseman and was then stumped until just finding you CHAT. I would be really grateful to hear we are related anf any info on family pre 1860 (Richard Joshua Jones) you may have.

regards gill

Hi Gill,
Richard Joshua Jones was my greatgrandfather - I'm descended from Albert Joshua, one of his younger children (of the fifteen!).  Be very happy to share info, I've sent you a personal message just reply to that and we can talk 'offline'.
Best wishes,
Ermy

Hi, I'm no relation but have been following up the Jones on Wikitree.
I am working on John Thomas Jones b.1813 Deptford.  Father, William Warrington Jones 1789-1855
and mother Sarah last name unknown at present.

John Thomas is listed as a Waterman and he is married to Caroline Voy married at Spitalfields in 1837.

In 1841 John Thomas was living in Gravesend, Kent, and died there in 1887 aged 75.

They had four children :Caroline Jones    19 dressmaker born Kent Gravesend
:Mary A Jones    17 dressmaker born Kent Gravesend
:Harriet Jones    12 born Kent Gravesend
:Maria Jones    8 born Kent Gravesend  actually Maria Susannah
:Thomas Jones    6 born Kent Gravesend
:Richard Jones    4 born Kent Gravesend

Hope this hasn't thrown a spanner into your works!! also John Thomas's baptismal record states his parents as William Warrington Jones and Sarah Jones
