Descendants of Evan Jones



This family settled in Jersey in 1945 and, as such, is not an indigenous Island family. It has, however, married into such a family and is now, through them, connected to many others. The family has retained a presence and property in the Island.

This tree is based upon the work, c 1901, of Thomas James Jones (1844-1902), which has been object of further research, culminating in a booklet by Brian Jones

In common with the majority of our trees, this descendancy has been subject to regular review by site editors and checked against Jersey church records. Trees including French ancestry have also been checked as far as possible against French primary records. It is not always possible to carry out such checks on sections of trees with United Kingdom and/or colonial content

Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

Notes and references

  1. ↑ Of the parish of All Hallows, Barking, by the Tower of London: Apprenticeship of his son Thomas, dated 2 December 1801, to John Lewis of Bunhill Row, [Islington], carver and gilder and Citizen and clothworker of London: Apprenticeship Register, Clothworkers` Company. The Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) will of Evan`s son Thomas, dated 1 March 1850, mentioning his wife, his sons George William and Frederick Jones, and the many properties mentioned below, gives the testator`s address in that year, as Hope Villa, Willesden, Middlesex. The 1851 UK Census, a year later, features at this exact address: Thomas Jones, furrier, born in Bermondsey, Surrey with Elizabeth, his wife. This entry pointed to the place of baptism of Evan`s son Thomas, as shown below. Evan`s various occupations are mentioned under “Joseph Evans”, generation 2, at the foot of this tree
  2. ↑ On marrying in 1785, at St Mary, Lambeth, Isabella gave that as her parish of residence. Her baptism has not, however, been found in London, Surrey or Middlesex. Cloudsdale is primarily a Lancashire surname
  3. ↑ Citizen and clothworker of London and, by occupation, carver and gilder, later straw hat maker, milliner and furrier (1840). His apprenticeship indenture, mentioned above, names his father as Evan Jones. He was baptised on 20 December1787, at St Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, as mentioned in the 1851 census - son of Evan Jones and Isabella. He learnt his trade as a carver and gilder while apprenticed to John Lewis, a carver and gilder. He was no doubt the “Thomas Jones, water gilder, 4 Monkwell Street, Falcon Square” [Aldgate], listed in Holden`s Annual London and Country Directory, (1811). His former master, John Lewis, was also listed in that directory as a “watch and water gilder”, of 7 Albemarle Street, Clerkenwell. Thomas` second line of business was perhaps derived from his wife, Elizabeth Powell, as The Universal British Directory, 1793-1798, has the entry “Powell, S and E, milliners, Cranborn Street, Leicester Square.” Given that the 1851 UK Census, Willesden, provides Elizabeth`s place of birth in 1793 as Abergavenney, Wales, her parents must have moved to London shortly afterwards. In the 1829 London Trade Directory, Thomas was described as running a “Straw and leghorn Warehouse at 32 Blackman Street, Borough”. Leghorn, Brian Jones discovered, “is a type of straw plaiting, made from a particular kind of wheat, mainly found in Tuscany, cut green and bleached for use in hats and bonnets.” Thomas took up his Freedom of the Clothworkers` Company and of the City, on 7 April 1830, his occupation described as “straw hat manufacturer” and address “32 Blackman Street, Southwark.” The decision to finally take up his freedom was doubtless made in order to take as apprentices his sons, in such a manner as to allow them to benefit from becoming members of the Clothworkers` Company. He took as apprentice his son Thomas two days earlier, on 5 April 1830, anticipating his own freedom, as the indenture describes him as “Thomas Jones, the elder, citizen and clothworker of London”. His entries in Pigot and Co`s A Directory of London and Its Suburbs, (1839), reads: “Jones Thomas, straw hat maker, 32 Blackman Street, Borough” and “5 Mount Place, Walworth”. The entries suggest that his water gilding business had been, by then, laid aside. His son, George`s marriage in 1840 also describes him as a furrier. Thomas Jones flourished, adding London and Surrey properties to his other assets. In his Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) will, dated 1 March 1850, he gave his address as Hope Villa, Willesden, Middlesex, and bequeathed to his son Frederick Jones “my business, carried on under his management in 32 Blackman Street, Newington, and also at 16 Blackman Street and at 32 Ludgate Street, City of London”. His other sons had evidently been already provided for, as the testator bequeathed to his wife most of the residue of his estate, namely “69 Hill Street, Walworth, Newington, 6 Mount Place, 5 Mount Place, three houses in Stock Place, all in Walworth, Newington, and his leasehold houses at 5 and 6 Freeley Road, Kennington, in 9 and 10, Borough Place, and 2 and 10, Clarence Place, all in Camberwell”. His son, George William Jones and his wife were appointed executor and executrix. He was buried at Nunhead Cemetery, Linden Grove, Southwark, on 10 December 1853, aged 66
  4. ↑ The register was signed by two witnesses, Joseph Jones (see generation 2 below) and Mary Powell. In 1851, the furrier Thomas Jones and his wife, Elizabeth, were living at Hope Villa, Willesden, Middlesex. Her place of birth is given as Abergavenney, Wales. Her age that year was 58, giving an approximate date of birth as 1793: UK Census, Willesden, Middlesex (1851). She was buried with her late husband at Nunhead Cemetery, Linden Grove, Southwark, on 7 July 1859. The National Probate Calendar records that she was a widow, of 2 Manor Terrace, Walworth, who died on 1 July 1859. Her executors were Frederick Jones, of 16 Blackman Street, Southwark, straw bonnet manufacturer, the son, and John Holme Twentyman of Camberwell, gentleman. The latter probably represented the interests of Elizabeth`s eldest son, Thomas, of Cape Colony, South Africa, whose wife was Sarah Twentyman
  5. ↑ Thomas Jones was born on 25 April 1813 and baptised on 25 July, at St Margaret Westminster, “son of Thomas, carver and guilder (sic) and Elizabeth of Lewisham Street”. The career of the younger Thomas Jones and details of his descendants, have been well researched by D L Twentyman, (see below). An important find of his was Thomas`s apprenticeship, dated 5 April 1830, for seven years, “to learn his [father Thomas`s] art of a straw hat manufacturer.” Although Thomas junior does not feature in London`s online Freedom of the City Admission Papers, 1681-1930, there is no reason to doubt his admission, as these online freedoms contain known omissions. Twentyman found that he emigrated to South Africa in 1838, becoming a merchant at Cape Town. In 1854 he went into partnership with Henry Rudd, as “Rudd, Jones and Company: DLTwentyman family tree at Ancestry
  6. ↑ They had eleven children, including Sydney Twentyman Jones (1849-1913), LLD (Cantab.), Senior Puisne Judge (1882), Griqualand West, South Africa, two of whose sons were killed in action in France during the Great War. Both were officers of the Royal Field Artillery, one of whom, a promising barrister, was killed within three months of his arrival at the front. A grandson was Percy Sydney Twentyman-Jones (1876-1954), KC, the South African sportsman, Supreme Court judge and jurist. This branch of the family has descendants in South Africa and elsewhere
  7. ↑ Citizen and clothworker of London, furrier and milliner, described in 1886 as a manufacturer. Baptised at St Anne, Blackfriars, 14 August 1816, “son of Thomas Jones, carver and gilder, of Keen`s Row, Walworth, and Elizabeth”. He was apprenticed to his father, “carver and gilder”, on 7 September 1831, within the Clothworkers` Company, and made Free on 7 December 1842, when he was described, as being “of 107 Oxford Street, furrier.” He was by 1871, also an artificial florist, living then at 101 Oxford Street. Artificial floristry catered for the Victorian taste in millinery. His business flourished, to the extent that he became the owner of 106, 107 and 108 Oxford Street, both then and now regarded as prime real estate properties
  8. ↑ Furrier, of 75 Oxford Street. The surname Ince is derived from the Old Welsh for an Island or for a river-meadow that might, in wet weather, resemble an island. Places in Cheshire, Cornwall and Lancashire bear this name: B Cottle, The Penguin Dictionary of Surnames (1969). Eliza was sister to Martha Ann Ince (1825- ), who married Frederick Jones (below), Thomas Henry Ince (1830- ) and to Grace Ince (1823- ), wife in 1854 of Samuel Osborne Habershon, MD London, FRCP, of 21 Wimpole Street, Marylebone, with whom there was, recorded in the 1861 census as visiting, Martha Ann Jones, merchant`s wife, aged 36, and her three children, Samuel and Grace`s niece and two nephews, respectively, Annie M.

  22. ↑ Mary Ann Bilson had married, first, in 1881, at Thingoe, Suffolk, Edward Rutherford ( -1883). They had a son, Edward Thomas Rutherford (1883-1967), a marine engineer, who lived for some years in Brazil, returning to England in 1928: UK and Ireland, Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960, at Ancestry.

  23. ↑ Agent
  24. ↑ Tea trade, salesman: 1911 UK Census, Prittlewell, Essex
  25. ↑ Commercial traveller. In the 1891 census, (Highbury, Middlesex), the enumerator has mistakenly recorded him as “Donald G Jones”. His birth, marriage, death and other census entries, as well as family information, confirm that the name Oswald is correct. Oswald George Jones served in the Great War, at first in the Army Pay Corps and then with the West Surrey Regiment
  26. ↑ Professor of Music (1890), Composer and Musician
  27. ↑ Thomas and Gladys`s daughter, Frances Megan Anthony married, first, at Aldershot, Arthur Denis Caswall Dowding (1917-1940), 2nd Lieutenant, Royal Armoured Corps, the son of Vice-Admiral Sir Arthur Ninian Dowding, and nephew of Air Marshal Lord Dowding, the renowned Officer Commanding Fighter Command (1940).

Reginald Jones was admitted in 1902 to the City of London Freemen`s Orphan School as was, later, his brother Hindley, on the death of their father, a Freeman of London. The school was well regarded, with normal school holidays, like any other boarding school, as the conditions for entry stipulated that the school was for the benefit of those who had lost their father; the latter being a Freeman of London. Most of the pupils probably had a surviving parent. Reginald and Lottie eventually moved from London to Hampshire and then to Worthing
  29. ↑ Printer
  30. ↑ Douglas Jones served with the Royal Air Force during World War 3, and was seriously injured
  31. ↑ Hilda Jones was a favourite aunt to various nephews and nieces. Those among them who were at boarding school received generous, much-prized, food parcels. She never married
  32. ↑ Hindley Charles Jones received the name Charles from his maternal grandfather, Charles Bilson. He attended the above City of London Freemen`s Orphan School, 1905-1913, and went into banking in 1914, at the London Provincial South Western Bank, at Norbury. In 1915 he volunteered for active service, joining the 5th Battalion London Regiment and arriving in France on 13 July 1916. He experienced trench warfare before volunteering, in the following year, to serve in the Royal Flying Corps. He qualified as a pilot, having undergone Aerial Gunnery tests, flying Avros and Sopwith Pups. He was commissioned on 25 September 1917. In 1918 the Royal Air Force was formed, as a separate service, the former Royal Flying Corps members, becoming part of the new armed service. In that first year, however, army ranks were still in use. Hindley was therefore promoted on 12 July 1918 to the rank of Lieutenant. Squadrons he served in were 198N, 189N, 78 and 37. In November 1918 he underwent a Flying Instructor`s course, which he passed. After the war he was placed on the Unemployed List of the Royal Air Force, with effect from 25 April 1919. His name finally disappeared from the Royal Air Force List on 16 January 1923. His rank at the time, in the newly introduced R.A.F. style, was "F. O." - Flying Officer. He was awarded the Victory and British War Medals. He returned to banking, joining Lloyd`s Bank. It was when working in Paris, as a foreign banking official, that he met Yvette Andrews, whom he married. With the fall of France in 1940, they were able to return unscathed to England. Yvette lost both her parents when the ship they sailed on, from Lisbon, in Portugal, to England, was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine. After the war, Hindley became the manager of Lloyds Bank, in Conway Street, St Helier, Jersey, remaining in this role for many years. He and Yvette lived at Greengates, Samares, before moving to Le Bocage House, Longueville, Grouville
  33. ↑ British coal exporter, living in Paris

Yvette`s grandfather was a first cousin of the eminent French 19th century surgeon, archaeologist and author, Gustave Thomas de Closmadeuc, who was made a Chevalier de la Legion d`Honneur
  35. ↑ Clement was recorded on Thomas James Jones`s 1901 tree, as was “Edward Jones” and “Jessie Jones”, but Clement, Edward and Jessie (below) have not yet been verified, nor have they yet been found in any censuses together with other members of the family. They may feature, with many namesakes, as infant mortalities. The family having been, at this date, non-conformist, may be a factor
  36. ↑ Amy was living in 1881, assisting in the family`s millinery business at 101, Oxford Street: UK Census, Marylebone, 1881
  37. ↑ LRCP London, MRCS. The 1901 Census, St Andrew by the Wardrobe, lists their eight children, four sons and four daughters. Alfred was born in Dacca, which was then in India. The eldest son, Leonard, became a London architect, the second son, Philip, who was then aged 12, would later qualify as a doctor, marry, and serve in the Great War as an officer in the Royal Army Medical Corps. The third son, Gershom, migrated to Australia, and the youngest son, Samuel, married a clergyman`s daughter shortly before becoming a clergyman
  38. ↑ Of Devizes, Wiltshire, draper and outfitter. In the 1901 Devizes census, the household comprised Alice, her husband and their three daughters, five drapery assistants and a cook
  39. ↑ Medical missionary in Kuling, China. Spencer Jones was in the 1881 census a former commercial traveller, aged 24, living in Marylebone, with his brothers Hindley Ince Jones and Newton Jones. The subsequent careers of Newton and Spencer were very similar. On 18 January 1912, the death of Spencer`s wife, Elizabeth Spencer Jones, was recorded by the British Consulate, Kinkiang District, China, as having taken place at Kuling. She was aged 56 and is described as the "wife of Spencer Jones, Missionary, Kuling": UK, Register of Births, Marriages and Deaths from British Consulates, 1810-1968,. Elizabeth was no doubt the "Bessie" shown on Thomas James Jones`s 1901 tree as having married his brother, Spencer Jones. The latter was in England briefly in 1923, as he sailed from London in that same year, for Shanghai, China, recorded as having for permanent residence "foreign countries". His occupation was "missionary". Online sources have Spencer Jones as marrying, presumably second, Agnes Mary Poulsen (1884-1973). Thomas James Jones`s 1901 manuscript family tree has Spencer as the father of Agnes Jones. This Agnes was therefore living in 1901 and was born to Bessie, as shown on that tree. The online source has a son named Spencer Jones born to the couple on 25 June 1916, in Beijing, China. He, with Agnes, is included, pending confirmation in his case, on the tree, above. There was a High-Church Anglican clergyman and author named Spencer John Jones, born in Croydon in 1857 and died in 1943: National Probate Calendar.
  40. ↑ Medical missionary. Spencer Norman Jones attended Oslo University and the Missionary School of Medicine, London (1946), before taking up a post in Chopda, India, until 1951, when he was posted to Trinidad, in the West Indies. He attended bible school from 1955-1957

He visited the United States and Canada, amongst other places, although North American destinations have better coverage online. In 1898 he was described for the first time as a missionary. He was then aged 36. Sailing to New York, some years later, in 1921 on the SS Olympic, he gave his permanent place of residence as London, and his nearest relative as Mrs Newton Jones of Northwold, Moss Hill Grove, Finchley, N12. His wife, Georgina, then aged 56, travelled with him in August 1923, as did their daughter Dorothy, aged 30: UK and Ireland, Outward Passenger Lists, 1890-1960. On arrival in Canada on the 31st, he completed Form 30A, to the effect that he was an evangelist, of Baptist faith, travelling with his wife and daughter, in order to lecture and preach; that he was sponsored by the National Sunday School Union and that they would also visit their son-in-law and daughter, Mrs C J Wilkins at Wendya Way, off Deer Park, Swansea, Toronto. In response to the question as to who was the arrival`s nearest relation in the country of origin, Newton answered “Hindley Ince Jones, Westcliff on Sea”: Canada, Ocean Arrivals (Form 30A), 1919-1924

  50. ↑ Manager, production planning, motor vehicle works: 1939 England and Wales Register. In the Great War, he volunteered for active service, joining The Artists Rifles. He was later a Lieutenant, Royal Flying Corps, at the end of the war, an Acting Flight Commander. He was awarded the Victory and British War Medals: UK, British Army World War 1 Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920. The need for First World War pilots to understand aero engines sufficiently to enable elementary repairs, when forced to land due to engine trouble or outright failure, may have led to Gordon`s later interest in motor vehicle production
  51. ↑ Existence of issue not known

  53. ↑ Architect, surveyor and decorator. In 1841 Edward Jones was a 20-year-old architect living in Blackman Street, St Mary Newington, in Surrey, assisted in his business by 15-year-old Frederick Jones. As ages were usually rounded off to within the nearest five years in the 1841 census, Frederick was likely to have been his 18-year-old younger brother. Edward was living in the parish of St Giles in the Fields, Middlesex, in 1845, practicing as an architect, and remained in the parish, living at 20 Great Russell Street until shortly before his death in 1879. His business varied a little. In the censuses of 1851 and 1861, he was described as a surveyor and house decorator; in that of 1871, as a builder and decorator.

  60. ↑ Stanley was living in Brighton in 1911, describing himself as having been born in Bloomsbury and living on private means: UK Census, Brighton, 1911. He does not feature in the 1939 England and Wales Register, but may have been the man of this name who married in 1912 in Willesden, Mary Radnor
  61. ↑ Citizen and clothworker of London, merchant of Graham`s Town, South Africa. He was baptised in 1822 at St Mary, Newington, Surrey; son of Thomas, carver and guilder, of Keen`s Row, Walworth, and Elizabeth”.

He was made Free of the Clothworkers` Company on 6 MArch 1850, his father described as a furrier, and on 7 March 1850 he was made Free of the City. He married during his apprenticeship in 1846, described as Frederick Jones, Esq. His father`s will, dated 1850 and proved in January 1854, bequeathed to Frederick businesses conducted in three locations, but he migrated to South Africa within a few years, dying there in 1862.

  104. ↑ James, son of Evan Jones and Isabella, was baptised at All Hallows, Barking, by the Tower
  105. ↑ Citizen and wheelwright of London. His apprenticeship indenture dated 4 May 1801 describes him as: Joseph Jones, son of Evan Jones of Tower Street, linen draper, binding himself to John Pearson, citizen and wheelwright, for seven years. The eastern half of Tower Street is in the parish of All Hallows, Barking, which matches Evans`s address seven months later, when his son Thomas was apprenticed. At the latter date, Evan was described as “porter” and in May as “linen draper”. Fourteen years earlier, Evan was described, at his baptism in 1787, as a victualler. There is no doubt that he was the brother of Thomas, who was apprenticed in December 1801 as the “son of Evan Jones of All Hallows, Barking, Porter”. Joseph`s apprenticeship indenture, dated May 1801, gave his father`s address as Tower Street, London, which matches Thomas`s entry in December, because half of Tower Street is in the parish of All Hallows, Barking. In December the father was working, in all probability, for a linen draper. When Thomas married, in 1812, the wedding was witnessed by Joseph Jones. Joseph`s birth in 1786 confirms that his father not merely bore the same name as Thomas, with the subsequent same 1801 address, but was a porter
