The death certificate says that he died on the 14th August 1902, so I'd say it's odds on that he's the same John Jones that was buried at Holywell Parish Church on the 18th. He died at Greenfield, and the name and address of the informant was Robert Williams - whose signature was "X The mark of Robert Williams" - who lived at Bryn Celyn, Greenfield, and he was the brother-in-law of John Jones.

I did a search in the 1901 census for anyone by the name of Robert Williams living in Greenfield, who might have had a John Jones also living at their address, but nothing. Also looked for a John Jones who was in hospital at the time of the 1901 census. There were about 15 with that name at the Royal Naval Hospital, Haslar, and there was a John Cadwallader Jones, born Liverpool in 1870, but it wasn't the right John Jones because that one died in 1944.

In the 1911 census a Morris Williams was living at Bryncelyn Cottage with one of his sons, his daughter and son in law and a nephew Robert Edward Williams age 23."England and Wales Census, 1911," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7JV-46D : 23 July 2019), Morris Williams, Holywell, Flintshire, Wales, United Kingdom; from "1911 England and Wales census," database and images, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing PRO RG 14, The National Archives of the UK, Kew, Surrey. Another of the sons of Morris Williams was named Robert A Williams (1881 and 1891 Census). Could this be the Robert Williams who was the informant on the death certificate of John Jones?
