JONES Family in Ramsey
« on: Wednesday 19 November 08 20:55 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find the family of my grandfather's brother, David JONES, who was born at Piddington, Northants in 1878/9 and later settled at Ramsey in Essex.

In 1901 David was single and a gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery, stationed at Sandguard Fort in Felixstowe.   During WWI he was hit in the face by shrapnel, leaving him badly scarred above the top lip.

I don't know when David and his family settled at Ramsey in Essex.   An Aunt tells me his wife was called Lizzie and they had a daughter called Kate.   I can't find a marriage in Northampton between 1901 and 1920 that fits and the only birth registration I can find is for David's niece, Kate Dorothy JONES.   I realise both the marriage and the birth of Kate could have happened anywhere!

Please can anyone help fill in the gaps?
