When  was the death?

a 1901 search by adress gives "The Grosvenor Convalescent House" @ Sandgate Entire.

Wow that was fast  :D
he died in 1906 so that sounds about right   He was only 45 but was a House Painter [yourneyman]  Had come down from London also stoping at Chatham long enough to get my geat grandmother pregnant. ::)

Hi
Sangate is part of Folkestone, along the coast between Folkestone and Hythe. I live in the area and will see if I can find out some more information for you.

John James JONES was the proprietor of the Grosvenor House Convalescent Home for consumptive patients on The Esplanade, Sandgate in 1903.

There was more than one convalescent home in Sandgate and this one isn't to be confused with the Alfred Bevan Memorial Home (also known as Beach Rocks) as far as I can tell.
