Other Countries / Re: Jamaica - Archimedes Jones b1816 and Joseph Jones
« on: Friday 17 July 20 19:00 BST (UK) »
Hi there. From my family history I believe that Archimedes is my great great great grandfather (his son Charles Henry Jones went on to have Henry Montague Jones who was my great grandfather, and his daughter Mary Pamela Jones was my grandmother, who passed away four years ago).
Do you have any further info on Archimedes Jones, particularly his life before coming to the UK (did he inherit the plantation after his fathers death/ what happened to Mary) and how he went from a position at the Sailors Home to produce what what become quite wealthy offspring who were global merchants (my great great grandmother who was married to his son Charles was from an affluent family and I have a photo of her aged 80 travelling to Panama!). I’m happy to provide as much onward info as possible, I’m on ancestry.co.uk and my records are public - my name is Cherry Jones.
Many thanks
