Robert Jones is the full name.  Info on his marriage cert...

married March 31, 1882 to Sarah Helen Kershaw, widow, age: full (maiden name Holt), father Joseph Holt (occ. mechanic).

Robert, widower, age: full, occ. Gas Engineer, residence, Dewsbury, father Robert Jones (occ. Lawyer).

It was a licensed marriage, at Church of the Ascension, lower Broughton, Lancashire.

Then I have a birth cert., same Robt & Sarah Jones, a boy named Thomas Hughes Jones(my grandfather), b. Oct. 11, 1882.
Robt's occ., Gas Manager, residence, Gas Works, Savile Town, Thornhill. (Three years later (1885) Sarah married James Rea Gledhill.)

Ultimately my goal is to determine what the familial relationship was between this Robt. & Sir Alfred Lewis Jones (the 19th century Liverpool shipping magnate). There's further info about  this in the 'west riding yorkshire' forum, subject heading- 'The mysterious Robert Jones'

Any info on this Robt Jones will do, any year census, B,M, or D info. (Please keep in mind that Robt apparently died between 1882 & 1885)    THANK YOU!!

Hi.  I'm trying to determine what the relationship is between my grandfather (Thomas Hughes Jones) & Sir Alfred Lewis Jones (the 19th century Liverpool shipping magnate).

Tom was supposed to have been set to receive an immense inheritance consisting of cash, stocks & bonds, land in Jamaica, etc etc. Tom's father was Robt Jones.

Birth cert., Thomas Hughes Jones - b.Oct. 11, 1882, @ Gas Works, Savile Town, Thornhill. Father- Robert Jones, occ. 'Gas Manager'. Mother- Sarah Helen Jones (late Kershaw, formerly Holt). Robert's residence- Gas Works, Savile Town.

Marriage cert., Thomas Hughes Jones, occ., professional musician(age 25) & Annie Joynt, spinster(age 30) - m.Feb 6, 1907, @ Register Office, Salford.
(Thomas's father- Robert Jones(deceased), occ.- Analytical Chemist.) Thomas's residence- 8 Mildred St, Broughton.

Marriage cert., Robert Jones(widower), occ., Gas Engineer(age 'full') & Sarah Helen Kershaw(widow) - m.March 31 1882, @ Church of the Ascension, parish of lower Broughton.
(Robert's father- Robert Jones(deceased), occ.- Lawyer.)
(Sarah's father- Joseph Holt (of the Holt brewery company?), occ.- Mechanic. Robert's residence- Dewsbury.

None of Sir Alfred's siblings were named 'Robert'. Inheritance comes down from the male line. Any suggestions? (my head is bogged down w/ excessive tidbits of info at this point, sorry)       -thanks!
