Missing in 1881 - Richard Lewis Jones Llanfaelog

[wilcoxon]

Where is Richard Lewis Jones  in 1881

Richard Lewis Jones was born about 1859 in Llanfaelog, Anglesey, Wales.  He died in 1903 and his obit says he went to join the army. He was late of Bond Street so I know this is him.
I can`t find him in 1881 when he might have been in the Army, but there may be a clue in his relationship with the Greggs,

James S (Shirley) Gregg is the brother of Richard Alexander Gregg.
1901 New Bond Street, St George Hanover Square, London .
James S Gregg, Head, S, 42, glover employer b Northamptonshire
Jas. Chas. Wall , S, visitor 40, artist sculptor b Burlscombe Devon
Richd. Lewis Jones, S, 40, fan specialist, b Llanfaelog Wales.

I  found Richard L Jones in 1891 when he is a glover. He is a visitor to
Richd Alex Gregg. Head 35 schoolmaster b Sheerness Kent
Mary Mathilda Gregg  wife 33 b  Staffordshire
Richd Lewis Jones visitor  M 27 glover b Anglesea Llanfaelog .

In 1891
1891 Barnet , Enfield , Herts

Back in 1881 the father of both James S and Richard Alex Gregg is a Militia man.

Thanks.
Yes I had spotted him,  but there were quite a few Richard Jones from the same village.
I discounted it because the  age isn`t right, also he always used the  his full name with Lewis  and the story about the army.  He had a friend  William Jones , same age who also joined up and I found him in Windsor barracks in 1881, but no Richard 
It`s one to look at though.
James S Gregg seems to be the right one though.

As Evan H Owen was in London as a linen draper in 1871, working in a large store , I think this probably is the same Richard Jones.

There is a James Chas Wall in Hoxton in 1881. He is a wood engraver, age 20 but born Hoxton
Others in the household are:
His father also James Wall, age 49, but he is born in Burlescombe, Devon. His occupation is Chairmaker employing 1 boy.
His mother Mary age 51 born Pentonville Middlesex.
His sisters: Mary age 24 occ milliner, born Hoxton, and Alice F age 15 scholar also born Hoxton.
So maybe James Charles was mistaken about his birthplace and muddled it with his father's and being a wood engraver, he could progress to being a sculptor.
