I was getting excited because I thought that Summerfield House had survived - there is a house built in a traditional style on the same site, 111 Upperthorpe Road, but I think it has been re-built. It is next to two or three houses which are definitely old.

The house can be seen on OS maps at http://www.old-maps.co.uk with coordinates 434359 388177. The 1890 town plan shows it best. The 1853 map is at a smaller scale but the house name can just be made out.

Thanks again,i had come to a stand still with this side,now i am finding more info.The burial records for the younger George seems to match jr because he was born at Gleadless and the rest of the Jones lived around that area most of there lives.George jnr dates were 1786-1851 and married Ann,they had 5 children Henry,David,William,Ellen and Ann.
 I will have to ask my Dad if he remembers anything about Upperthorpe area,may be my mum would remember because her own father was born in that area.
Thank again if you have anymore info it will be gratefully received
